Father John Misty Turned Down $250,000 to Cover The Backstreet Boys For a Chipotle Ad

Father John Misty is a man of principle, or at least disinclined to accept easy payouts from corporate burrito peddlers like Chipotle. 

At the Newport Folk Festival over the weekend, Misty revealed to a snickering audience that Chipotle offered him $250,000 to cover The Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" for a commercial. Holding true to conviction, Misty rebuffed the offer. He said at the festival: “I was like, ‘Cool, so then I can just buy like two Cadillacs and just crash them together. I don’t want your fucking burrito money.”
