Listen, if there was a single note played at 0'01 of the piece and then another at 4'43 of the piece it becomes music. A lame ass artsy fartsy interpretation of music but still music.

But dead silence is dead silence whether there's musicians on stage in front of an audience or not.

But this thread proves that Cage was a genius in his own weird sort of way.
