My names Jo, I’m the lead singer with The Neon Trees. wrote the song ‘The Life and Times of Jeff’ and yes it is about Jeff Bezos.

A couple of years ago I picked up a book from the library where I work called ‘Getting Big the Amazon Way’ or some similar corny title.

The first chapter told the story of Jeff Bezos’ early years and tried to analyse the personality behind the success. It was in this chapter that I discovered Bezos’ fascination with space travel and his plans to fund private space flight.

This immediately fired my imagination. I used certain facts from the book as jumping off points, then took the story to its logical or perhaps illogical conclusion. I admire Jeff Bezos, I think he is an outstanding business man and an extraodinary guy. This song is meant to be an affectionate tribute to him.

Thanks for linking to our site!!
