I have to admit that the death of Bert Jansch effects me far more than Steve (who he?) Jobs but then, I'm not a computer Geek.
While every death reduces the sum of our experience: 'one person less, ome world less' as George Orwell put it, all this crap on writers' block about 'how did he change your life?'
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. (Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Speech, 2005)
