the latest album of british musical group "the planets" contains a 60-second track of complete silence. representatives of the estate of John Cage [who once wrote a 273-second version of the same thing ... nothing] have threatened to sue the planets for ripping off Cage's work. in response to the threat, Mike Batt of the planets says, "mine is a much better piece. i was able to say in one minute what [took Cage] four minutes and 33 seconds". this really happened, by the way.
