Also, I refuse to believe that he planned to allow two students to do an in-class presentation that included the whole class sitting in silence for 273 seconds.

I’m sure everyone here would agree that stupidity would be the only possible explanation for someone cancelling a class on 4’33” when there’s a Trump rally right outside.

Imagining John Cage, in a live performance, refusing to shut his piano lid because of all the racket. Just sitting there grumpily not not playing his piano.

State the obvious: 4:33 wasn't about listening to silence, it was about listening to what's around you and framing it in your mind, as art. Dumbest music lecturer ever.

This feels like the Annie Hall moment where instead of Marshall Mcluhan, John Cage steps out and says, "I heard what you're saying, and you know nothing of my work. How you ever got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing."
