Exactly, Mike.
That's what "music theory" taught me...you looked at how some composers wrote their music. Then, you put them (Bach, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Reich) on a timeline in your head, with yourself at the very end of the timeline. In this way we are taught, in "Music Theory", that what has come before CAN be an influence, but we can be as innovative as we damn please! Or as "copycat", if we choose...We have that luxury, being alive, at the "end-of-the-timeline" so to speak, to write "how we feel" ...as did, ironically, Bach, in his time...

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
