Don't you hate it when a piece is ruined by noisy rabble?
>>121577474I bet it was people protesting Brian's death on Family Guy.
>>121577474Does Keith Jarrett's mumbling count? If so, yes
>>121577474isn't the whole point of indeterminism that you can't control it
>Sorry chillens we can'ts listems to da fo minnie and thrurty secomd silence dems peoples is dernroit noisay y'all
>>121577474>>121577615>this piece directs us to listen to whatever background noise is present>NOT THAT BACKGROUND NOISE THOUGH, THAT DOESN'T COUNT REEEEEdon't get me wrong, I think protesters should be redacted, but this guy is clearly a moron
>>121577474I 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.
>McWhorterlmao burgers pls
>>121578448Another piece of evidence to prove that higher education certificates are usually bought, not earned.
>>121578448>>121579848Not all academics, this just happens to be a "centrist" aka. a neoliberal conservative. Ironically, one of those who's decried against safe spaces
>>121577474>"I had to, like, open the bruise up, and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them"
>>121582598Pretty much all academics. Especially those not pertaining to the sciences.
>infuriated chantingSounds 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.
>>121583008are you familiar with the purpose of a protest
>>121582598I 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
>>121577474>McWhorterlol I forgot about this faggot from my /pol/ phase.
>>121583032you 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'?
>song made so that the listener can stop and actually pay attention to their surroundings>Coon doesn't get it and intentionally chooses to ignore his surroundings
>>121577474>sees a black person walk by my housewelp, 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
