I used to do stuff like this when I was in high school working in a booth at a self-service gas station. I would set up the ash tray, pencil holder, books and other objects and turn them into a drum kit that I could play with pencils and pens. This was before I knew about Cage. It seems that he does what comes naturally to children, which to me, is a sign of courageous artistry.
listened to this in music

John Cage is so good, when there's a steady beat in it!

This performance is fantastic! I love how the sheet music is camouflaged by the setting/performance.

You obviously know nothing about this man or his music.

@secretpray3r It was notated very precisely, so John Cage would have known if it was messed up.
