Does the fact that it was the noted experimental musician John Cage that was behind 4'33 lend it extra credence for those of you proclaiming it as music?
Imagine that Cage never did the piece.
It's 1986 and the horrid hair metal band Poison releases an album that contains a 3 minute cut of pure silence. And they go on to "perform" it on their subsequent tour.
Would you all be here today validating Poison?
