That was 3 minutes of a man acting like a madman. I think Cage is a genius and love his music, but to someone who isn't open to this as an art form, it's a guy banging on kitchen appliances.

Music like this is absurd... laughable. That's one of it's many charms. John Cage has helped me realize that music is all around me at all times, but to others, he's bat shit insane.

i just realized what ever the audience's response is, it probably doesnt bother him. Though it does me, because i want to hear it all

We had that very same blender (Waring) when I was growing up.

John Cage was at the cutting edge then, along with abstract expressionist visual artists.

You haven't listened to much of Cage. Also, if its not music, that's fine. Relax.

this piece is gorgeous. it makes me sad to hear the audience laugh the way they do in this video at such a work of sonic art. but thats generally what you have to expect out of the public

Don't be silly. It's all about context. HE IS IN A TV GAME SHOW.
