A journalist has asked me if I know the source for the following quote:

"You don't have to call it music if the term shocks you"

It is used frequently online, including on Peter's page for Cage. But the only attribution I have is "John Cage (1982)". My guess is that it could be in the last part of the Diary, but I don't have a copy of X here.
