and people paid to be there?

John Cage's 4:33, full orchestral arrangement.

I'll say again, Cage was an artist when he "wrote" pieces like this, but it's not music.

Sure, it's "art", but it's also a waste of a good hall. You've got a hall that sounds that good... how much better will nothing sound?

Rather pointless, if you ask me.

The commentary was interesting, though. In a bizarre way, made me wonder what it would be like to have actually been there.

I kept staring at the screen waiting for him to do a dance or something :-)
