Oddly, I also heard it at Oberlin in the late 60s. By that time, John
Cage had moved from being an avant-garde composer into philosophy of
music. (03)
Clearly, there was nothing to hear for 4'33". While the undergrads were
intrigued, most everyone else thought it a little silly, and performance
art rather than musical art. (04)
