Why Steve Jobs was an important figure in the music industry…

Leave a comment

Even though Steve Jobs, wasn’t a musician. He never played an instrument, and he never sang anything, but he is still considered a music artist in some way. Why? Because it was him that brought us the Ipod and Itunes. Before then we were listening to music on portable CD players and cassette walkman’s. Nobody buys music on CD anymore because everyone is buying music digitally now, all because of Itunes.

Steve was a huge music lover himself. He was a huge fan of the Beatles. I think he also dated folk music legend, Joan Baez, briefly. The photo above is the boys in U2 unveiling the, “U2 Ipod Edition” that was released years back. Steve Jobs changed the way we all looked at the music business.

Famous musicians including Guns N’ Roses, Coldplay, Nikki Sixx, Mick Jagger, and more. Help grieve the death of Steve.

I’m sure you can read a lot more by musicians in twitter as well. Like him or not, Steve created an impact in the music business. Changed it forever.

I love the Ipod.

I guess it’s time for another obit. Entrepreneur and inventor, Steve Jobs, who was the co-founder, chairman and chief executive for Apple Inc. has died after a long battle with cancer. He is famous for creating the Apple II series computer way back in the 70’s. The Apple II became so popular , which helped create, the Macintosh. Jobs latest creation, the Iphone’s and Ipad’s became a huge hit worldwide. Jobs changed the world by inventing new ways for people to communicate.

I was never into those gadgets. I never really understood them. I thought about getting an Iphone but changed my mind. I think a regular cell phone is good enough for me. If I had an Iphone, I just don’t want people bothering me 24/7, everywhere I go. I don’t see how people could do it but that’s just me.

Steve Jobs always had my respect even though I was never into Apple that much. The only thing I have by Apple is the, Ipod Nano. Like Steve or not, he did change the way we looked at the world over the years. RIP Steve.
