John Cage sucked.
"Compositional change" and such concepts may sound fascinating in theory, but when in practice, a concert at the University Of California that consists of a gentleman in a tuxedo, who sits in front of a piano for an hour and does not move his hands from his lap, those of us lacking a higher apprreciation for this kind of "art", feel a vague sense of disquiet and bewilderment, and wonder if "we" have been played.
...and leave the auditorium wondering, if, just maybe.....perhaps...it was
"Shome mistake, shurely???!!"
It may be fascinating to observe pieces of ice suspended from string melt one by one, and "play" a harp as they fall, and hit the strings, but in the end I'd rather read about that in the newspaper, and then go to a movie with lots of car chases, crashes, people blowing $hit up, automatic weapon fights, and gorgeous babes in sexy cocktail dresses running really fast.
Depende en su punte de vista, supongo, compadre.
sigh.
