MOTM

Sorry I wasn't more clear. Cage did say something like, (though I forget 
where) "if something is boring after ten minutes, then repeat it for twenty 
and you'll find something interesting. If you don't, then repeat it for forty 
and eventually something interesting will come out."

John Barlow said, "make a career out of it, and your Philip Glass."

Gotta watch the use of that quote within a quote (double quote means 
something someone said, single quote within a double means someone said that 
someone said -- in the UK this is reversed).

I can attest to Cage's strong opinions as well, and actually Glass seemed 
like a very amicable guy (and I have to admit I've got a few of his records 
and have seen him live as well).
