STEVE JOB'S MYTHIC LIFE AND EXIT
As if his life weren’t already form fitting enough to hero myth, with
its “epic” beginning during the computer revolution of the 1980s, his
subsequent fall from grace setting the dramatic scene only for him to to
rise again with an even more stunning second Act (or “second coming”?) which saw him lead Apple (the company itself pulled back by Jobs from the
brink) in a resurrecting revolutionizing of the digital music player,
cell phone and relatively non-existent tablet markets all in the matter
of a short decade (not to mention warming up with Pixar?), Jobs has not
willingly but no less poetically sene fit to also, like any good living legend
should, go out before his time and while at the height of cultural
significance and indeed to the “t” within an actual 24 hours of the
public premiere of his successor as Apple CEO’s taking the stage (Tim
Cook), where Steve would quarterly most clearly shine with visionary
glee, not a little like an elderly wife passing on within a week of her
husbands recent departure, Steve having conclusively past the baton on
and so leaving with a form fittingly Christ-like, “It is finished!”
final gasping breath. Steve Jobs: a digital age icon and life of
religious form and legend lands perfectly a book end worthy of myth
itself? A story of biblical proportions that begins with an apple’s
bite and ends with a suffering messiah’s triumphant last words and the
forever after faith of his followers? Amen?? And shall we now some how
fail to make haste in prophesying his inevitable return?? (Hollywood
treatment, iLegend, film coming soon…?????? ;P)
