BILL GATES SAYS BEATLES SONG PERFECTLY EXPLAINS RELATIONSHIP WITH STEVE JOBS

Bill Gates has a song in his heart for the late Steve Jobs. Yes, they were fierce rivals as they pioneered products that revolutionized personal computing, but the competition mellowed into a good friendship.

So when Gates, in an interview on the BBC show Desert Island Discs, when asked to choose eight songs and why they are meaningful to him, he had one picked out for the Jobs – Two of Us by The Beatles.

“In the early years, the intensity had always been about the project, and so when Steve got sick, it was far more mellow in terms of talking about our lives and our kids,” Gates said during an interview that covered his childhood, wife Melinda, charity and ruthlessness. “Steve was an incredible genius, and I was more of an engineer than he was. But anyway, it was fun. It was more of a friendship that was reflective, although tragically then he couldn’t overcome the cancer and died.”
