I am almost inspired by the Arnel Pineda/ Journey story as I am by the Steve Jobs/Apple story.
It's a perfect model for how to replace someone who's irreplaceable-- you go off in a completely different direction than anyone would ever expect. For millions of fans, because of Arnel, Journey is now an exciting here-and-now phenomenon, rather than just wallowing in past glory.
If Apple does need to find a new CEO I think it would be cool if they found a filipino guy on Youtube. Would be fine with me if he was a little younger and cuter than Arnel . . .
