    If John Cage and Andy Warhol had a child, Quinn, you would be him!

    Ha!

    Sure … why not? Re: Cage—I can name one piece by him, a Piano Concerto. Not because I know it, but because of what it did for Lutoslawski. “”those few minutes were to change my life decisively. It was a strange moment … I suddenly realized that I could compose music differently from that of my past.” After all, one never knows / How the Holy Ghost blows.

    John Cage, Concert for Piano and Orchestra

    I can’t say it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard, but it’s not so bad. I’d rather listen to this than, say, One Direction. Whose music is mostly diatonic, I think.

      But you definitely have me: This or OD (does the Drew Brees commercial count?)…

      Would you rather put a handful of ticks in your mouth or lick a homeless man’s armpits?

      Hmmmmm…..

        A handful of ticks sounds like something Cage might have tried in one of his pieces, so yeah … that seems to me a pretty clear choice!

    Yeah, I’m most proud of how we worked in the guy with the cart. You hear it … you hear it some more … and then, just when you’ve given up hope of ever actually seeing it … BAM!
