Thanks for the Ipod, Steve
Thanks for the Ipod, Steve
Well, I'm not usually one to pine over the death of strangers but Jobs' ipod really got me back into music. After decent radio ended, the Ipod was the only way to hear what I wanted and I was just getting into the Clash and all those bootlegs. I had read few books about Jobs and saw the Pirates movie and they were pretty much saying the same thing: he was consumed with himself. I had been reading a few bios of Hitler and it was easy to draw parallels in their lives at least in the realm of upbringing, dumb luck, artistic aspirations, megalomania, cultism and petty genius. Uh, I guess this isn't quite the eulogy I had intended but anyway - thanks for all the cool stuff.

Re: Thanks for the Ipod, Steve
I can think of three "Pirates" movies, of which this is easily my favorite:tepista wrote:The one with Johnny Depp?darter wrote: I had read few books about Jobs and saw the Pirates movie
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Nice. Then there's that one with Geena Davis that nobody saw.

Cutthroat Island. It had Matthew Modine and the trailer had Beethoven's 9th.tepista wrote:Nice. Then there's that one with Geena Davis that nobody saw.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
