Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[AHF <>]

Many times I saw him empty the fridge of veggies soggy and well past it and make bread out of them. I can’t read the whole recipe you linked to as it’s behind a firewall. But this is as good an obit as any.

A key to understanding John is to know that if we were in the middle of a tight deadline to finish a commission — say a large orchestra piece — something many might consider important — he might suddenly look up and say — I need to run out and get something — only to return some time later with a single lemon.

I was looking for their obituary of Cage, but their search engine gave me this instead.
