How about someone actually answer me about why it matters what the composition of 4'33 actually is. What would be the difference in the end result if John Cage just drew a picture of Dickbutt on every page? If it makes no difference, then why does the existence of a composition matter?
Edit: Hell, Dickbutt might make the performers laugh, thereby making even more "music".
