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

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."

Cage is lame. 4' 33'' is his most famous work--in which the pianist sits there and does nothing for, you guessed it, 4' 33''. The catcalls and boos of the audience are supposed to be the "music." Whoever said decadent was right.

You got a pretty good sample of one of Cage's finer works about two hours after the last time you ate beans.
