Well, at least they're not in hell.

Cage's discovery of silence as a key component of music, his music, is not the same as the superabundance of words that is Ashbery. More like, the "tribute" reminds one of a white painted canvas by Rauschenberg. Not everyone's cuppa but the analogy is more fitting. If anything, what Pollock did with paint, Ashbery did with words. That said, I get the humor.
