john cage

i'm not sure how to take john cage's performances.  it's not that i don't understand them because i do understand for the most part the ideas he is trying to convey.  i really don't feel like it challenges my notion of what art can be either.  maybe i'm just not all that interested or feel like i've seen it before.  i understand the reason why i accept this type of art is because people like him have done it in the past, its just hard to have a genuine reaction.  i see the importance of how art like this has helped shape what can be done now,  but it just didn't interest me.  maybe my reaction would have been different if i didn't know what was going to happen, or if i was able to actually experience it.  sorry so glum.
