Some claim it to be a misquote... Good article here:
http://www.andante.com/Article/article.cfm?id=14377

"What has happened is - now you all have to turn your brains around - the 
greatest work of art there has ever been..."

It's been discussed that he was perhaps just trying to be provocative, and 
from such a remote viewpoint, both physically and emotionally, the comment 
becomes nearly academic in its grasping.  Maybe a good example of how 
Politics tends to pollute art nearly completely, but then the comment 
itself 
wasn't an artwork, and Stockhausen was more known for the music, hm?  
Brian 
Eno has been similarly obtuse on the subject of America, but then people 
pay 
more attention to his musical works.

Side note: Nylon guitar strings do a better job with a damage finger than 
metal ones.
