Yes.

I have recently found different videos of John Cage and Karlheinz 
Stockhausen on YouTube. The performance of Stockhausen's /Helicoptor 
String Quartet/ is pretty amazing. There is one Stockhausen lecture from 
1972. He talks about expanding and contracting sounds in time. The video 
/John Cage and Raashan Roland Kirk - Sound??/ (1966)... simply amazing. 
I was telling my wife today how it is incredible that you can just go 
find this stuff without leaving the house. I always thought it was 
amazing that my son could watch a VHS tape of Godzilla movies over and 
over... and when I first learned of John Cage was from a book... the 
idea of meeting him, let alone hearing him speak was not something that 
ever occurred to me. Then my wife related to me hearing John Cage read 
his poetry at St. Marks one time. I told her I figured I might try 
learning  John Cage impression, so she also told me that she went to a 
Ken Kesey reading but he was too drunk to know where he was. I think her 
idea was that if I was going to waste my time learning to imitate either 
I should learn to imitate both?
