Apple co-founder Steve Jobs may have been back at work two weeks ago, but his schedule has afforded him some time to relax, Coldplay's Roadie #42 discovered for himself Tuesday night. Jobs is a self-professed music lover, and was seen speaking with Dave Holmes, a TV host and celebrity news writer, Apple Insider, CNN Money and MacNN all report today.
At a show in the Shoreline Amphitheater near San Francisco, Roadie #42 spotted Jobs talking to TV host and celebrity news blogger Dave Holmes outside of the band's dressing room. What was discussed wasn't mentioned, but Jobs' identifiable presence was unusual; in spite of his self-professed love of music, few publicly single him out as having appeared at a given event. The roadie himself admitted that he couldn't bring himself to talk to Jobs directly.
"I suddenly [felt] like a star-struck teenager," Roadie #42 said. "In order to get the gall up to speak to the guy, I [downed] a double espresso. The mixture of caffeine buzz and feeling like a cheesy little fanboy [meant] that all I [could] manage to say to him is 'Thank you so much.' I [realised] that [i was] quite simply making a tit of myself and so [excused] myself as fast as I appeared."
Roadie #42 is described as a "confirmed Apple devotee" and credits his involvement in the music industry to Jobs' computers. He confesses to having been particularly nervous on seeing the CEO, and excusing himself quickly after realizing his fan-crazy appearance.
Jobs currently only works at Apple offices three days a week, and spends the rest of the time working from home. Jobs recently took a six month leave to recover from what was first claimed to be a "hormonal imbalance," but in short order restated to be a more serious condition. Third-party sources later confirmed a liver transplant.
