Yes, Kantian through Schopenhauer, which is where the music connection comes in. Also, my middle name is Newman. But having a philosophy reference as my name seems really prenentious, especially since I have only a very basic understanding of all that mess. It did work as a good joke about the old Twins player Al Newman being my Doppelganger - that never really caught on.
Anyway, this thread needs to die. It's too focused on me - I feel like a tool making a thread about my screen name.
