I'd probably give it a go (in all honesty), but I really don't think I could process that kind of material.
If they said he's $100 million, sing Bieber songs, and ONLY Bieber songs, that would be another thing.
As you say, it's hard to imagine what you'd do, but I believe I would tell them to go f*ck themselves.
If someone walked into Leonardo Da Vinci's office and told him his current stuff is crap, but he could make a mint selling only landscapes, I think Leo would have kicked him out on his ass.
But Todd wasn't exactly going a million miles from his genre when he did Bat.
In fact, come to think of it, i'm not sure how much I believe Todd when he says he did it just for the money.
Bat was such a rank outsider from the start I don't think Todd would ever have believed how big it was going to be without the aid of a crystal ball, a bowl of tea leaves, and a wandering gypsy woman
After all the rejections that Bat had in those days, doing Bat just because you thought you could make a sack load of cash off it is akin to someone with a gambling problem sticking the days racing form on the dartboard (after scibbling out all the favourites) and chucking a dart on it to see which horse he should bet his last fiver on.
If he wanted money, I dare say there were much more promisingly lucrative offers he could have taken up.
Perhaps he says that he did it for the money because it's his sardonic nature at work, or maybe because his views have changed over the years, but I think he did Bat because it was a great piece of work and he wanted to be a part of it.
Maybe i'm wrong
