I highly recommend reading Cage's book 'Silence and Other Lectured' or 'Conversing With Cage'. Both are incredibly fascinating and eye opening.

Why not? I've yet to be convinced otherwise, increasingly so after learning more about Cage's intentions. Really, what's the point in arbitrarily drawing a line? You could rule out a Capella music, instrumental music, tape/electronic music, noise music, and a wealth of other types of art by stomping your foot and going 'na ah' when someone asks 'is it music?'
