I'm sort of astonished that they filled up a WHOLE CONCERT HALL for this piece, but hey, I'm all in favor of new aural experiences.I just hope it wasn't the only piece on the program...

"Oh, brother...I can do that anywhere, anytime. AND I don't need a composer to do that for me."EXACTLY, Brad! And do you? You didn't know you were a composer, did you?

Exactly! Thank you, Mr. Cage, for the insight.

I love John Cage. Perfect and geniuswhy do some many people not get it, like some 12 year old playing ode to joy is better.

The crowd wasn't being loud. They mostly coughed between movements. Anyone that's going to bitch about this has no right. Silence is as important to music as the sounds. Although I do understand how you could think of this peice as ridiculous, but it's completely different live. It's a chance to hear the most beautiful music in existance: life.If you like this concept, look up the painting "Negroes Fighting in a Cave at Night"

Cage would probably appreciate that :)
