John Cage is a genius in his own way. I've never listened to anything he's recorded(it's strange he recorded anything. He HATED listening to records felt they poorly captured the experience).

I consider him more a philosopher/teacher than a composer/musician. However, after watching a documentary on him, and hearing him read a lot of his narrative. He profoundly effected my grasp on what I consider music.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent".

When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
