This is a 1997 Apple ad narrated by Steve Jobs himself. It never aired because the they substituted Richard Dreyfus as the narrator before they showed it to the public.
The people shown are Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon (with Yoko Ono), Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright, Pablo Picasso, and Shaan Sahota.
Jobs was clearly a crazy one and a lot of us, even we non-smart phone users, bless him. Apple still seems to be going strong, but I wonder what it would be like if Jobs were still around.
Probably the closest we have to him now — in completely different fields — is Elon Musk. No one doubts that he’s crazy — the SEC has ordered Tesla to keep him in line, but he is brilliant and doing some amazing things.

I want to be Crazy.
xo
I don’t have much choice, although I’m not making a big difference in the world. LOL!
I can’t change THE world – I can definitely change MY world – and often have especially since the mid 1990s. Not always in the right direction, but if you don’t try out a life pathway that appears to be going somewhere, then you don’t have another chance to get back on track…
Yes, you’re a woman after my own heart, and I admire you so much!
I loved this ad! And it’s also one that is spot on, as you are in your thoughts about Elon Musk. He is a quintessential combination of intelligence, fortitude, sarcasm, and wit, and a true visionary for the 21st century. I guess that does make him crazy.
—I am a different kinda crazy! 🙂
This poor old world could do with a lot more craziness like yours! Again, bless you for all you do.
