Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Richard Friedman <>]

I think the fellow was Alan Watts, who may have said the Cage got Zen all wrong, to which Cage apparently replied "Does it matter?"

The whole exchange, repeated often, may be totally fiction. But I think it clearly identifies the character of both men.

Enjoying this book immensely.
I'm wondering now about another
article (mentioned here?) by a fellow
who claimed that Cage got Zen all wrong -
that he misunderstood what Zen was really about.
Of course, when someone claims to know all about
Zen, that alone can make the accusations suspect.

Thanks again,
