Homeless man with the #GoldenVoice - who cares?

You know what, no.  I'm not co-signing on this bullshit.  I've seen the video, I've read some of the stories...whatever.  Who cares?  Yes, this man has a great voice, and it's perfect for radio.  So what?  And yes, I see that he was homeless.  Again, not impressed.  Do you know why he was homeless?  Because he made shitty decisions, became an addict, and lost the life he worked for.  I understand addiction is a disease and it takes work to get out from under it, that's not what I'm addressing here.  The thing is, why is this man such a superstar now? 

Honestly, it's not like he's a random homeless dude that happens to have an amazing voice that would be excellent on radio.  He's a homeless DJ.  That's what his profession was, I would sure as hell hope he had a good voice.  Would it be so super impressive if a doctor pissed away everything they had worked for, became homeless, and then we discovered that they knew some doctor stuff?  Not at all, right?  So what's the big deal with this guy?  He worked for years to become a DJ, "went to school for it", trained his voice from a young age...of course he has a golden voice, and he's sure as shit not alone in that one.  He just happened to make a series of choices that lead him to where he was.  Does he deserve a second chance?  Sure.  But it's just not amazing that a homeless DJ has the voice of a professional DJ.  Come on, people, get it together.
