That's close, but not quite it. It's not really a dissatisfaction of how the world works, but more an annoyance with groups like this that claim to be doing the same thing that we are. Perhaps I phrased it wrong, but to be honest, they can have their millions...i don't care. I just don't want them claiming to be doing the same thing and putting in the same amount of work as I have. Thank you so much for looking him up http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif To be honest, I don't completely agree with his quote either (it's a bit too extreme for me), but for what I was saying, it just fit. He has some great quotes, though. The piece of music you're referring to (sitting silently at the piano) is called 4'33", because, basically, you sit at the piano for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. While it sounds stupid, and I actually view it as a bit overboard, the idea is that everything is music. The legend is that the inspiration came to him when he was sitting in a practice room and he heard the hum of his nervous system. He immediately realized that there is music all around us, at all times. Edit: And before anyone says anything like "well if EVERYthing is music, then Nickleback is too", that would be missing the point that Cage was trying to make. The idea behind 4'33" is that even the hum of our nervous system and the sound of our breathing can be given thought musically, and if listened to very deeply and carefully, it can have musical meaning.
