Heard of penumbriationism? The art world is incredibly phoney...

Hah, well, I personally think a lot of the art world is nonsense, when it comes to money, exhibitions, etc. So, in a sense, I agree with you there. But! It still shouldn't discourage anyone to try to do what they can, or want.
Oh, btw, Cage DID study "proper" music as well. He was a student of both Cowell and Schoenberg, both very entrenched in classical theory, etc etc. He just opted to do different things.
