I don't know where I came across this, years ago.
I remember reading that, from one point on, Cage did not throw anything away. Instead he stored them in specially rented spaces.
Does that ring a bell?
Do I remember correctly? Or did I misunderstood what I have read, or even make it up?..

This idea has fascinated me ever since. I discover time and again the value of things, even trivial ones, that I miss years later, for one reason or another (if not for themselves, for their relation to other things, events etc).
