Golden-Voiced Homeless Man Captivates Internet - Amplifier
What an incredible story about a man getting a second chance at life: Ted Williams, a homeless man who was a former radio announcer, ends up becoming a viral web hit, and now, he has landed a new job and home! During hard economic times, he struggled with drugs and alcohol, but has now been sober for two years, hoping for a second chance at life, and now, he has finally achieved his dream. What a great way to start off the new year.
Saw this. I was really happy for him!
No reminder of the Titanic/Hurricane Katrina/Sept 11th?
I heard about this on the radio this morning. I thought it was a really cool story. I liked how instead of just begging for change he'd hold a sign that read "will work for food".
Boo. Homeless people need to stay homeless.
Hey, how mean! That's not very nice!Quote:

Then he wouldn't be an asshole on the internet.
And we'd all be happier.Quote:

He can read me bed time stories any day! It's so easy to make mistakes and screw up your life, so I'm glad he's changing his life around.
Actually, I found this picture of you.Quote:

That's pretty awesome :)
Reminds me of Anchorman when Ron Burgundy when get's his job back :P
I heard he's getting more job offers left and right... the people at the Today Show on NBC said that they'd like to interview him again in about 5 years from now, so i wonder where he'll be then...
