Well, it's weird and stupid to my mind. I have no intention of listening to any of it. But some people with a loose grip on sanity may well go there and listen in rapt attention and call it "a wonderful piece of emotive musical art" or something like that.

What did freak me out was the reminder at the bottom that some poor guy had to pay out for supposed copyright infringement of John Cage's earlier work, 4'33". So silence can be copyrighted, eh? Does this mean when I'm alone reading a book and I can't hear anything I have to start paying royalties to someone? Do I have to turn on something that makes a noise so I'm not listening to silence?
