With regards to last week's Cage piece with radios, here is another piece of his involving radios (which he unfortunately couldn't use as originally written) that he performed on another broadcast medium (television) in the 60's:

It's really interesting to note that the format of that particular game show was left behind in order to allow him to play the piece, as well as the fact that union politics entered into and affected the performance of an avowedly lefty composer!

It would be interesting to hear what it sounded like with the radios on. But I do like that he "hit" the radios and pushed them off the table. It sort of made a point to the unions.
