Greetings Chris,

Here's a quote from ZMM that describes what you're saying about the 
Romantic poin-of-view.

"I guess I forgot to mention John is a musician, a drummer, who works 
with groups all over town and makes a pretty fair income from it. I 
suppose he just thinks about everything the way he thinks about 
drumming...which is to say he doesn't really think about it at all. 
He just does it. Is with it. He just responded to fixing his 
motorcycle with a beer can the way he would respond to someone 
dragging the beat while he was playing. It just did a big thud with 
him and that was it. He didn't want any part of it. "  (ZMM, Chapter 5)
