Hope so. Remember listening to Thoreau reading all night long, which was
kind of "boring". Maybe you have to have some "willingness to like", you
must bring with you some sympathy etc for the man, his work. Or it will

I was lucky enought to hear Cage speak or perform several times,
spent 30 minutes with him in his NYC place during which he was
bombarded with constant phone calls, went to his 70th birthday
party and thought he was one of the most interesting and
significant people I have ever met! Who was it

Actually, I think Cage was more exactly concerned about how our taste was

It was a disappointing affair although the car he sold me
served me well.
I don't think he was related to the American artist, though.
