Just heard Terry Gross' interview with John Cage from last year to commemorate Merce Cunningham's passing this last weekend. The two things that stuck in my head were that he witnessed and strove to make his dances more asexual but at the same time found that subtle and intricate differences between men's and women's movements revealed themselves; and second, that through many terrible back injuries, he basically said: screw it, I am dancing anyways because I'm probably tougher than most.
I just want to say, "yes, wow, and me too."
