Beethoven, the late string quartets, the Ninth Symphony, things like that. So, they have a whole lifetime of experience that lead up to this, and there’s not… They’re not improvising, but things for improvising, writing pop songs, and that… I think when your mind is really most active and your brain processing speed is at its pinnacle, that… This is just my theory- … that people can come up with those kind of ideas.
