John Cage
I kind of quickly need to make this post because I just fell in love with this guy.
John Cage on silence… which you can also take as an explanation to the video above.
I love how he quotes Kant (“There are two things that don’t have to mean anything; one is music, the other is laughter”) and then laughs like the cutest old man in existence. Am I weird for finding his theories and… just his being incredibly heart-warming and… plain adorable? Haha. I love this.

Hi,
I too love his laugh, isn’t it great? I’ve been reading a memoir “Chance and Circumstance” by the dancer Carolyn Brown that is about her experiences with John Cage and Merce Cunningham while she danced with Cunningham’s company. She mentioned that Cage basically made friends everywhere he went. Reading that book really makes me think he would have been such a nice person to know, a real genuine human being. I don’t really know much about dancing but reading how these people struggled and the relationships she had with people like Cage, Cunningham, Jasper Johns and Bob Rauschenberg has been very enjoyable.
