Once, quite drunk on good vodka, late at night, wearing headphones and listening to a recording by Stephen Drury, I *almost* understood the meaning of Cage's "In A Landscape". Seriously. I can't recall the insight now, but I still like the piece, and have every intention of repeating the experience if I can. - Bill Hooker
The one I still need to understand fully, cause I really like it, is "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" - Deepak
Interesting, but disabling our understanding faculty often feels a lot like the way it feels when you finally understand something. Reading about the experiments with nitrous oxide you hear all these accounts of the scientists having great revelations, or thinking they did, but finding out that they were thinking nonsense when the gas wore off. Perhaps, Bill, to repeat the experience you just need to be in a similarly lucid yet senseless state. In other words, pick your poison. ;-) - Mr. Gunn
