What the HELL is with all this?! The sudden hate-on for anything outside your limited scope of comprehension?!?! This isn't aimed at you Al, there's easily a dozen other members with as narrow minds as you.

Seriously - before you decide to publicly declare a wildly influential and respected COMPOSER like John Cage, perhaps it would be prudent to investigate their work a little bit. Honestly - if any of you actually put in some effort to try and understand and HEAR what's going on then you'd realize how ridiculous YOU sound making these asinine statements.

How is THIS not composition? Even on youtube, you can hear the advanced rhythmic concepts and structural intricacies of his work. Just because you can't wrap your head around it doesn't instantly make it inferior.
