New York - Folk queen Joan Baez has revealed that her friends had told her to marry Steve Jobs in order to secure her life financially.
The American folk singer also said she and the former chairman of Apple Inc. in the 1980s were “an odd combination.â€
“I had friends who said: ‘Marry him! You’ll never have a financial problem in your life.’ But I couldn’t quite do it,†the New York Post quoted Baez as saying.
Baez, older than Jobs, told The Times of London’s Ed Potton that Jobs was “totally left brain, and I have none.â€
“Mostly we argued . . . He said he could create with a computer a classical quintet that would be as magnificent as any there ever was. I said there couldn’t be the soul in it. On the other hand . . . his last
words? ‘Oh wow! Oh wow!’ He was probably rearranging the Golden Gate,†she said.
Asked if there was love between them, Baez responded, “Maybe, or maybe I was just fascinated.â€
