Mike in honor of your great post, something I still remember by heart!

"I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys' R Us kid.

There's a million toys at Toys 'R Us that I can play with!

I do't want to grow up I'm a Toys R Us kid, they've got the best for so much less you'll really flip your lid!

From bikes, to trains, to video games, It's the biggest toy store there is!

Gee whiz!

I don't want to grow up, cuz baby if I did, I wouldn't be a Toys 'R Us kid!

More Games more toys, Oh Boy!

I wanna be a Toys T Us kid!

I've Always felt that true creativity can only come from an unbridled (childlike) imagination - just about the exact opposite of "brainstorming".

Personally, I think the "childlike" have a real competitive advantage in the marketplace. Because they look beyond "reality" and see "what can be." And then their "what can be" end up becoming "reality"

But brainstorming IS creative - it's just a bit less pure because it's forced in its inception, then analyzed to the hilt.
