Why do they start talking when there is something to hear?
Do they have their ears not on the sides of their heads but situated inside their mouths so than when they hear something their first impulse is to start talking?
The situation should be made more normal, don’t you think?
Why don’t they keep their mouth shut and ears open?
Are they stupid?
And, if so, why don’t they try to hide their stupidity?
John Cage, Darmstadt 1958
