Title: 6 October 2011: It's......... 1984!
Post by: Big Fingers McGee on October 05, 2011, 04:33:37 PM
In spite of my hope that it was in fact 1974, looks like we'll get something about Apple.

Done! It's harder for me to do the WTF selections from about 1984 on... I was pretty attuned by that point.

Apparently it wasn't released until 1997, to capitalize on the success of "Bitch" (the album, See It Through My Eyes was originally recorded in 1984).

Have you heard it?

Eddie and the Cruisers.  I actually liked Cafferty when Beaver Brown were a Springsteen knockoff on a small indie label -- it was amusing how slavishly they were imitating the E-Streeters. But once they started having actual radio hits... fuhgeddabouddit.

I requested Alphaville.  I did NOT request this song.... I wonder if that is the only Alphaville song they have at KFOG.

I wanted Summer in Berlin, Lies, Sounds like a Melody or Jet Set.

An amazing outpouring of love for such a greedy* meglomaniac.  But he WAS a visionary greedy meglomaniac.  RIP.

In accordance with Newton's Third Law (equal and opposite forces), I also am finding (especially here) an overreaction in the opposite direction to the deification perceived in the media.  There is a reality distortion field for those who think of Jobs only as a rich pushy guy.

Well said.   I've noticed that, too.   But when you say 'especially here' do you mean the Bay Area?  or this board?  or your school?

KQED's Forum was all about Steve Jobs today, and NYT tech reporter John Markoff (sp?) and some SJMerc reporter told a few anecdotes about Jobs.

Don't take me too seriously here... Like I said, I'm a little pissed at apple and it's proprietary stranglehold on my wallet right now.  I have a higher opinion of Jobs than you might think.  But I'm certainly not personally, emotionally invested in the man himself, and try to steer clear of that kind of hero worship.

I have friends who have worked with him, and I don't hero worship him either.  I guess what I hold him up as is an example of the power of vision, and will.  What sets Apple apart in so many devices are the little things as well as the big ones, and I give Steve a lot of credit for that.  I was a little surprised at the media coverage yesterday afternoon, but what I think it all boils down to is that the iPod and iPhone have changed the modern world, and he's the most recognizable face one can connect with that way.
