If you ever find yourself asking “What would Steve Jobs do?” in a bleak moment of crisis, you may well find yourself enjoying the latest would-be viral video.
Called Burning Man: The Musical, the short music video portrays the excitement around the annual Burning Man hippie-fest-turned-tech-networking-event, where zillionaire CEOs get together and pretend to be penniless beatniks for a couple of days, while staying in air-conditioned wigwams and attending $15,000-per-head parties.
Oh, and the video’s got a great Steve Jobs-themed song, too.
Amazingly, this isn’t the first time Jobs has been immortalized in musical theater.
An opera entitled The Revolution of Steve Jobs is coming to The Santa Fe Opera as part of the company’s 2017 season. A Philadelphia Theatre Company musical entitled Nerds played in 2013. And there’s even an opera that combines the life of Jobs with that of Henry V in a variation on Shakespeare’s 1599 play, entitled Steve Five (King Different).
I’m kind of digging Burning Man: The Musical, though. Let’s hope it becomes a full-length project.
