What did Billy Joel say? Something about only the good die young? :(

I don't know if he was good. He's been pretty cruel to his relatives, denying his daughter for two years.

I do think that he is an icon for people whose dreams are to become successful entrepreneurs. It's not my dream, but I know people whose goal in life is to be a CEO of a major company with the stuff they started from scratch. I think that Jobs is a good example of someone they can look up to. People talk about the suckiness of being corporate but imo it's a decent skill, and to excel in it is a decent achievement.It's not easy to do it as well as one might hope.

Sorry, I didn't mean good as in morally righteous, I meant good as in damned talented.
