He probably should have given Jobs a couple cases of this deodorant...

I didn’t need to be told this. I have eyes.

In one of the bios (seems like Steve Levy wrote it, but a series of web searches turns up nothing) an anecdote appears — at Apple’s early address, important meetings were often just two or three people, face to face, in the parking lot. Jobs got asked into one of these by Markkula’s chosen manager, and instead of a usual chat about bills and expenses and such, he was told he had to take a shower, because no one could stand to have him in the building any longer. Same book talks about his weird eating habits (carotene poisoning from an almost-all-carrots diet; vegetarianism; fruitarianism; fasting), his going barefoot, LSD, the works. :^) It’s around here somewhere.

Maybe The Knack were fans of Willie Dixon, but I suspect they were Doors fans, and that’s where they got the album title.
