this is most interesting and contrasts with Robert Filliou's statement (that
I posted a day or two ago) about joy etc being the basis of art. I don't
think the two statements are contradictory though. Suffering and joy are
flip sides of the same thing from a certain perspective. According to the
Buddhist traidition--and Cage picked up on and emphasized this--that same
thing is *change*.
Thanks for posting your review Craig.
