Re: Help with quote re I–VI

I can't seem to find your quote, but Cage did describe his non-syntactical
writings with phrase borrowed from Marshall McLuhan, "brushing information
against information."   Check out MUSICAGE around page 51.  (maybe
"brushing"="butting"?)

There are also some similar musings along the bottom of pp. 14-18 of *I-VI*,
but it's not the exact quote you're after.  Let me know if you find it!
