  • It was precisely these types of desperate emotions that fueled by creativity as a songwriter. Pink recorded "What's Another Night Alone" and just like that, I was rich and famous.

  • But I was smart. I invested heavily in my 401k. At least that's what I thought. In 6 mos. I was poor and unknown again. Except that I knew Pink's many dirty secrets. I could sell
