You won't believe what the title of this your blog article made me to remember. It may seem a bit unrelated to the topic of discussion, it's about a Jim Reeves album that is the favorite of my Dad. It's called The Unforgettable (released 1976!) It was an old school song he loves to play as we were growing up. He used to play this song some years back as a kid and it made some impression in my young mind.
You see I remembered it after all those years because it made an impression. So I guess to be creative you just have to be able to make an impression :) Nice writeup.
