What would you do for a million bucks

Just watched an interview with Vanilla Ice and they were talking about all the lies that came out, about him, early in his carrer. Charles Koppelman (CEO of EMI) was brought in and the following conversation went down:

Ice: I’d go in there saying that there’s no way you’re gonna make me do this. I don’t do slow songs.

CK: We made choices that were good for my company. And what’s good for my company was good was the artist.

Ice: I came out of his office with a million bucks and he had his slow song.

For Vanilla Ice, success was measured in money. I mean One Million Dollars… that’s a lot of money. Like a WHOLE LOT of money. Enough that we’d probably all consider selling out a little bit for that kind of money.

Turns out, he later tried to commit suicide with 30 million in the bank because he could never get back to making music the way he wanted.

Money puts a roof on your head, but it’s never success.
