I became a household name in the 80s
starring in classic films like Goonies
and stand by me but lately he's been in
the headlines for his music career and a
performance he did right here on today
just a few weeks ago Cory and his band
performed his latest single go for it
and the segment instantly went viral no
exaggeration there being tweeted shared
and written about endlessly online it's
even become the year's most-watched
today.com video boom take fatso goriias
back another song for us from his new
double CD angelic to the core hey Cory
see you hello and thank you so much for
all the love and support we love you
thank you okay listen you know we were
reading some of these tweets and they
bordered on just awful
you know one of the insanity about what
people didn't know you were hearing from
a lot of people pink yeah
pink Ke$ha Miley Cyrus Paris Jackson
they Michael Jackson's daughter reached
out yes and she was lovely lovely young
girl when did you realize that it was
all noise and you needed to be true to
you you know what a friend of mine who
actually helped he's an investor of mine
his name is Brian McMullen and he was on
the phone with me I was all depressed
and I was crying and he said think of it
this way when kids first started when
Eminem first started when Nirvana first
started they all got hate people were
turning them off at the radio stations
people were walking off the dance floor
at the club's because it didn't make
sense to them at that time but those all
became amazing legends right so just
think of it that way and that really
turns around for me because I'm like you
know what you're right a lot of people
get hate in the beginning because we're
doing something new it hasn't been done
before but it's all about innovation and
being an artist and we can't be afraid
to share our art so you're not afraid to
go at it again today letting the boys
get to us and this song by the way is
for America we are at a time right now
where the world needs to focus really on
peace and love and tolerance especially
with all the bullying so this is about
the government this is about the race
this is about their estates their guns
