Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Rod <>]

Good to hear of your interests in the forum here.

I'm familiar with Randy Hostetler's work. I think

Laura Kuhn even wrote the bio in the Baker's musicians book.

There's an enormous amount of literature on Cage, so the quantity

really isn't the issue; it's that until we adopt a way of life that applaudes 

individuality rather than mass conformity, then the only people who will 

find interest in folks on the lesser known spectrum of life will be those folks 

who stray away from the mass hypnosis of certain aspects of life - 

delving into the uncommon in order to expand their boundaries.

Yes, more books, more music, and so on can be produced,

but I think one of the best ways of passing on info is thru sheer

enthusiasm for what you're doing and when asked about influences

to name names.
