I've been chawing over what you had to say about Cage, and I'm wondering if some of his pieces are really more deletrious than some of the "Gansta" Rap, and I'm wondering about the moral obligation that some of these rappers have. Heck, is Woody Guthrie or Bob Dylan that far removed? Or even Beethoven (most of his early symphonies and his late quartets were panned as being "disharmonius")!

I guess everyone has their own tastes and reasons to listen, I appreciate your comments, and respect your opinion, but my admiration for John Cage is steadfast. Also, I'm curious, would I recognize your brother's name? I enjoy listening to modern composers as well as folk, and have a little knowledge of both obscure and well known composers.

Peace and Love
