Formerly married to a Playboy centerfold, Mr. Iovine rivals some of his artists in his celebrity profile around Hollywood; in a bland corporate conference room at Apple on Wednesday, he wore a shiny blue blazer and light blue suede high-top sneakers.
Mr. Iovine got his start as a studio gofer in the 1970s, but quickly made his name as an engineer and producer, working with acts like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks.
But on Wednesday, Mr. Iovine was, as ever, the consummate promoter, hyping the deal as a perfect union of technology, style and business know-how.

And Jimmy today. |
Well there's another guy who got co-opted by "the business". And to think he balked at wearing a gold half moon necklace because he was a New York guy with no Hollywood pretensions and hated all that sh*t and wanted keep Stevie grounded in reality.
If Jimmy then could see that picture of Jimmy now he'd barf.
I guess if you can't beat'em join 'em.
btw I never knew he was 5 years younger than Stevie.
