Is John Cage's "4'33"" the most soothing music ever?

1. It depends...

...on where it's being performed and what kind of mood you're in.

I love John Cage.


There’s a street in Stony Point in a
lowland near the river where a number of
species of mushrooms grow abundantly.
I visit this street often.
A few years ago in May I found
the morel there, a choice mushroom
which is rare around Rockland County.
I was delighted.
None of the people living on this street
ever talk to me while I’m collecting
mushrooms. Sometimes children
come over and kick at them before I
get to them. Well,
the year after I found the
morel, I went back in May
expecting to find it again, only
to discover that a cinder-block house
had been put up where the mushroom had
been growing. As I looked
at the changed land, all the
people in the neighborhood came out on
their porches. One of
them said, “Ha, ha!
Your mushrooms are gone.”

2. He ripped that off from me, you know

I was too busy playing the title role in "Waiting for Godot" when that bastard swooped in and copyrighted my original work.

It was amusing.
