John Cage and Sun Ra walk into a bar. Someone asks Sun Ra where he’s from. Where are you from? Saturn. Come on, where are you from? Saturn. Okay, I’ll ask you one more time, where are you from? Okay, okay, Jupiter.
John Cage and Sun Ra walk into a bar. The outerspace employment agency. Someone asks Sun Ra about a job. What’ve you been doing lately? Nothing. How long have you been doing nothing? A long time. You must be an expert at it. I’ll hire you. To do what? Nothing. How much do I get paid? Nothing.
