afaik - this was the point that Cage was trying to make: he 
considered that all sound was music - including whatever random 
ambient sound happened along during a 4 minute 33 second event where 
a piano player wasn't playing anything at all. He was also very 
interested to remove the idea of "intent" from music ( i.e. the 
composer's).  Neat idea. A great way to liberate the self from 
convention.

otoh - it has nothing to do with music :-)
