Funny Things

So I was having an iChat session with my Dad tonight and I told him that I deleted all my song projects that i’ve been working on for well over, the past two years. “Well, you must have done that during a fit.” he said. Then later in the conversation, he told me to not loose hope; and then made a crack about how he saw Lady GaGa on the television.” Oh yes Dad, I know; it’s awful.”

Years ago I told my parents what I wanted to study, music. My father was very much against it; in fact he laughed at me saying “You couldn’t even play Yankee Doodle Dandy on the piano if I asked you to.” My how this hurt, but I didn’t stop believing in myself, that I had music within me. He even made the comment at the time, that how could I have musical talent; no one else in my family was a musician.

Tonight, I shake my head. Yeah, I just deleted over two years worth of work; but I only did it because I know I can do better; and that I can do it now in far less time. “Don’t loose the hope”- these are words I would have never imagined my father would would say to me. The real funny thing is, though, that my Dad told me tonight that my grandfather, his dad; played in a band, he played the saxophone. Funny, why would he have kept this from me and even gone as far to tell me that no one in my family was musical. I think I’ll go, and start a new project. I will keep the name though, “years prior…”

Steve Jobs: The Authorized Biography Coming to iBooks (and Other Fine Establishments) – Apple – Gizmodo

There've been many books documenting the life of Steve Jobs, attempts to worm inside of Steve's brain. The NYT reports that Walter Isaacson, Time magazine's former managing editor, will write the first authorized biography, however. Steve's supposedly invited Isaacson to tour his childhood home, even. I wonder what kind of conditions Isaacson had to agreed to in order for this to happen.

Isaacson's previous two bestselling biographes were about Ben Franklin and Albert Einstein, if that tells you anything. [NYT]
