"composer John Cage (1912-1992)"

And the funeral procession just started rolling out of the parking lot.

Dear Borges,

Now, my own two cents.

Why?

Why bother?

This seems almost an insult to music.

I just got my Oscar Brand's CDs today and after ripping them to my hard drive 38 hours of the best folk singer and songs in the world!

I know I must have heard something by Cage at some time in my life. I just can't remember what.

That has to be one of the stupidest ideas ever.

Maybe it was this..."Cage's avant-garde oeuvre includes works such as the notorious "4'33", a piece comprising four minutes and 33 seconds of total silence, all meticulously notated."

When lazy meets stupid, you get John Cage's "work".

A minor third worth waiting for.

My version of this holds up well against the original.

It's also not the longest. I've just composed a one chord organ recital which will last 640 years and three months. ;')

I've always wanted to go to a performance of that thing and keep muttering "This is the worst performance of 4:33 I've never heard!" so I can have people shush me throughout.

Cage's avant-garde oeuvre includes works such as the notorious "4'33", a piece comprising four minutes and 33 seconds of total silence, all meticulously notated.

But it was all "meticulously notated" somewhat like a
Dan Rather news report on G.W.Bush.

Liberals will buy anything.
