I thought they were going for The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird this year?

Otherwise as I keep saying 4'33" isn't about silence - it's about the impossibility of silence, as Cage discovered in the anechoic chamber of Harvard University where he even became away of the sound of his own nervious system! It's about listening, in anticipation and hearing the random beauty of ambient sound at its most unsilent - I guess even a recording raises all sorts of other issues because it's still going be different every time you play it.
