> John Cage "composed" a song consisting of just silence.
I used to think 4'33" was the most ridiculously arrogant piece of pseudo-art in the history of pseudo-art.
But people still talk about it today, 70 years after it was composed [0], and they will still be talking about it 500 years from now. So I've changed my mind. It does exactly what good art is supposed to do: It makes you ask questions.
