Nightly News bought a copy of Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, which goes on sale next week, for an early and often poignant look into the world of a brilliant man who changed our world.
Among Steve Jobs' favorite artists were Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, his onetime girlfriend Joan Baez, Aretha Franklin, B. B. King, Buddy Holly, Buffalo Springfield, Don McLean, Donovan, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, John Mellencamp, Simon and Garfunkel and The Monkees ("I'm a Believer").
Isaacson writes that only about a quarter of the songs were from more contemporary artists such as Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Dido, Green Day, John Mayer, Moby, U2, Seal and Talking Heads.
Jobs enjoyed classical music, too, including Yo-Yo Ma and Bach, his favorite classical composer.

Mr. Job's music choices mirror mine, and that does not surprise me at all. He seemed to be of my generation. He was a brilliant visionary who has had a very important impact on our world, and he is and will be sorely missed for a generation.
Those eyebrows ! Add some horns and you have the Devil !
Behind every great man is a greater woman. Steve Jobs got to live life to it's fullest and enjoy much of what he dreamed off as a kid. He was blessed to find Laurene Powell Jobs as she was his rock. All the stories and lives Mr. Jobs had talked about the one I love the most is when Rupert Murdoch was making a visit and Steve said he had to hide the knives from Laurene, sweet.
