John Millicent Cage (1912-1992) was a 20th century composer who enjoyed moderate success in his early life. He is also a pretension seeker. He was most well known for his unique style of "writing" odd and unusual "pieces", such as "Piano Falling Down Five Flights of Stairs in A Minor", and the classic "Set of Bagpipes Driven by the Exhaust from a Saturn V Rocket's First Stage". Cage was hailed as a "master of the unique", and his "work" was regarded as "a refreshing change from music that actually makes sense".
