Good to know. Thanks john. What would really be insane is if we started defining our world in reference to violent video games. So, it's actually a relief to know that. And thanks for the tip about Quote Investigaor. Very neat tool.
In any case, I still think it's a stupid quote, Einstein or no Einstein. Trying repeatedly in the face of mounting failures is perhaps [u]the[/u] quintessential defining characteristic of what it is to be human, and likely one of the main reason why our race has evolved to dominate every other species on earth..... for better or for worse.
And thanks for the feedback JeffS. It only makes sense that a very experienced musician is going to use their Lego blocks differently from a beginner. Actually, you know what would really be insane? If we all started defining our world in reference to Lego blocks ; )
