I was watching a documentary, and one person said that the dude this documentary was talking about "paved the way" and I am ashamed to say that my first thought was towards Kpop, bts, second gen, and fighting. What has happened. What have you all done to me. This was about Medieval music, wtf 
Also, in case you're curious, the documentary was talking about Guido of Arezzo, who was the first in the Western world to write down and create the current system of transcribing music we use today, and the phrase was used because he essentially paved the way for composing as a trade. So...Guido Monaco paved the way for your faves. 
Another fun fact! He created the first version of do, re, mi
