    Can't watch YouTube videos at work, but is this about the homeless guy offered a radio job by the Cleveland Cavaliers?

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Seriously. Working for the Cavs will probably send him back into booze and drugs. :(

    he did a commercial for Kraft also. somewhere i heard they want him to play wolfman jack in american graffiti.
    that'll probably make him hoarse.

    he and his mom were on the today show. she was ashamed for her family that he held up a sign.

    what a success story!

    Got to love the power of the Media...

    Good luck to him, I hope he stays on the straight and narrow!

    This guy better hire a good manager ASAP considering his past drug problems....hopefully this isnt too much too quick for him.
