And then he turned on his corporate sponsors a few times, first criticizing them “trying to put their logos on every concert and shit,” and making him meet with their executives and their daughters. He returned to the topic again, this time faking contrition. “I swear I’m a nice leader now. I swear I’ll put the pink polo back on. I swear to you. Please. Just for $3 million. I need ti so bad.
