Steve Jobs

He saved the music industry.  Certainly saved the single.  Itunes did what the laggards at the biggest Record Companies couldn't do:  bring the music back into the power of the public.  Given easier access to the stuff they heard on the radio, the consumer once again got engaged with music.
Of course, before Itunes came the Ipod, and I always felt that the shuffle option on it, was its greatest invention.  Suddenly, you had your own radio station in your ears.  What was coming next?

Steve Jobs was some kind of genius.  I think of people like him like I do a Jim Henson.  They come along once in a lifetime.  Apple will invent more great things.  But it will be a long time before they find a spokesman, no make that, a face of its brand like Steve Jobs.
