[silence] Cage Reference Sought

[Rob Haskins]

Yes indeed--I would be willing to contribute to such a resource! We could have people devoted to specific books, specific time periods, etc. and come up with a Cage Wikiconcordance.

"Heroism doesn't consist in brilliantly combatting someone else. . . .  What is heroic is to accept the situation in which you find yourself."  -- John Cage

Subject: Re: [silence] Cage Reference Sought

So often so many people are seeking Cage references.  "Where did he say x?" 
seems like a typical question on this (and other) e-mail lists.

Wouldn't it be great if a team of people got together and drew up a plan for 
systematically going through Cage's writings and "indexing" them, nothing where 
he cites people, works, ideas, events, etc.  Perhaps it could be a wiki or some 
other database where people could participate (especially if they're planning on 
reading his works).

Having such a database would be of great help to many - and might spur 
additional research on Cage and his world.
