In 1982, Cage described the music of Glen Branca that
he heard in performance as resembling fascism. Cage
was describing one particular work, not all minimalist
music. I assume Cage was referring to the drum beat
and the guitars playing the same chord, if that Branca
piece was anything like his early Symphonies.
