An Evening of John Cage at Issue Project Room

When I was a kid, I saw John Cage perform at Hunter College. For a kid it was a strange. He sat on the stage reading from scraps of paper into a microphone. It was kind of boring but I got that it was important. It was JOHN CAGE. It was avant garde in the early 1970's. Cool.
