I bet it was people protesting Brian's death on Family Guy.

Does Keith Jarrett's mumbling count? If so, yes

>NOT THAT BACKGROUND NOISE THOUGH, THAT DOESN'T COUNT REEEEE

don't get me wrong, I think protesters should be redacted, but this guy is clearly a moron

>>121577474
I bet this nugget thinks of himself as
one of the good ones" a good ol broken buck conservative that never needed affirmative action. God damn, how can you be a professor at Columbia and miss the point of Cage's music so hard.

Not all academics, this just happens to be a "centrist" aka. a neoliberal conservative. Ironically, one of those who's decried against safe spaces

Pretty much all academics. Especially those not pertaining to the sciences.

>infuriated chanting

Sounds interesting, should have listened

does this dude really teach a music course? i thought he was some kind of english teacher.

independent of what they are protesting about, it is kind of stupid to have the place where you quietly listen to some supposed expert lecture on some subject be in the same vicinity of where a bunch of rando's are screaming and hollering.

they should probably bus the protestors to another location in all honesty.

are you familiar with the purpose of a protest

I remember this John McWhorter guy doing the rounds around the 2020 protests as a token "anti woke" black guy going on Joe Rogan and Sam Harris type podcasts

lol I forgot about this faggot from my /pol/ phase.

you know there are laws against disturbing the peace, right?
that you can't go to some residential neighborhood at 2AM and scream your head off and then tell the cops it's ok because i'm 'protesting'?

welp, there goes the neighborhood.

Most people don't get John Cage's 4'33" because it forces them to listen to slow down and listen to harmonic textures in a way they can't fully understand at first. Instant gratification has ruined the ability to engage with the composer's ideas
