Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Dear Rod,

I agree. All this crap is used from the right-wing press/web to discredit progressive and enligthened thinking. Of course, Sora's book is complete nonsense, but also outrageousness and 100% fake news. That's why it shouldn't just be accepted. The content of this book is a slander.

Notorious for extreme right-wing opinion.

Here’s, for example, an ongoing dispute between Achgut and NewsGuard

who are known to investigate misinformation on the web.

https://www.newsguardtech.com/feedback/publisher/achgut-com/

This example has to do with Achgut lying about vaccines.

At the end of the long back-and-forth, you’ll see that Achgut

gives the same answer that, for example, Fox ‘news” does in America:

"To clarify, we do not claim in our “Mediensteckbriefs” (“Media Profile”, I believe - 

Ralph can say otherwise) or elsewhere that Achgut.com specifically presents itself as a news site."

In short, fuck ‘em.

I immediately guessed Sora was European. In need of protecting the European culture.

After a little search, I found out - no surprise - he is a European "avant-garde" composer.

I use quotations because this has become something of a brand name in my eyes. It is ironic how conservative and self-serving European "avant-garde" has become after 1990. Will it ever end?

Thank god for John…
