Cage never intended 4'33 to be silence - audience noise, the sound of the performer doing things - that's what the piece sounds like. Coughing and rustling and whatnot.
But once you get the idea, there's no reason to listen to it more than once, or even once. It's conceptual, and boring as art, like T&B said. Cage wrote a lot of good actual music though.
