This is it folks. It’s like I get to have my cake and eat it too (if that’s the right expression here). I’m a huge Coldplay fan, much to the disapproval of many of my ‘followers’. Turns out, Steve Jobs is also a Coldplay nut just out of a liver transplant rocking it at their Viva la Vida concert. Here’s a tale from the journalist “Roadie #42″ covering the tour:

“I’ll be honest with you folks, the only thing that mattered to me tonight was the presence of one Steve Jobs. I’m a confirmed Apple devotee and I really cannot imagine doing the job I do now (or even having got into this line of work) without my Macbook Pro (and all the Powerbooks that went before it). Creating these tools and putting them into the hands of folks like me was the vision of this man…

“I spot Steve chatting with Dave Holmes outside the dressing room and suddenly feel like a star-struck teenager. In order to get the gall up to speak to the guy, I down a double espresso. The mixture of caffeine buzz and feeling like a cheesy little fanboy means that all I can manage to say to him is “Thank you so much”. I realise that I’m quite simply making a tit of myself and so excuse myself as fast as I appeared.

“With that, I suddenly have sympathy for every nervous and excitable kid that shakes hands with the band at a meet and greet. Time to hit send and fold up the laptop.”

With being the voice behind press releases, making the rounds at the Apple campus, and now rocking it to Coldplay, Steve appears to be back in business. Let’s hope we see him at the next keynote.
