John Cage interviewed by Ted Berrigan

CAGE: I agree. Somebody said that Brecht wanted everybody to think alike. I want
everybody to think alike. But Brecht wanted to do it through Communism, in a
way. Russia is doing it under government. It's happening here all by itself
without being under a strict government; so if it's working without trying, why
can't it work without being Communist? Everybody looks and acts alike, and we're
getting more and more that way. I think everybody should be a machine. I think
everybody should be alike.
