John Mayer:

John Mayer: “I was going to Berklee College of Music in 1997. My mom and
dad would give me $250 a month to spend, but I started overdrawing from
the bank, so I was below broke. My dad sent me a check for $250 and
wrote, “John, remember me when you go platinum.” I held onto that note
through everything. Two days ago, he got his platinum plaque with that
very piece of paper inside the glass.” [Rolling
