Homeless Man With the Golden Pipes Has Prayers Answered
After many of us regretfully ripped up our mega millions lotto tickets when we heard 2 people in Ohio were cashing in there seems to be a bigger winner. . . . .
- nhangen 16y agoI heard about this on ESPN radio today. Great story. I admired the man's candor, admitting to drug and alcohol abuse as the reason he was against the ropes for so long.
- thewarriorinme 16y agoIt says a lot about the man's character and is truly an inspiring story.
- jim_h 16y agoI hope he can get away from his past. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/meet-felon-golden-voice http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/meet-felon-...
- thewarriorinme 16y agoi think everyone deserves a second chance if they earn it
- nhangen 16y agoNot much to that story other than a homeless guy that doesn't want to leave a parking lot. I was expecting worse.

- astrodust 16y agoDrug abuse ruins things. Drugs save the lives of a lot of people.
- thewarriorinme 16y agoeverything in modesty my friend
- shadowpwner 16y agoI do believe you mean moderation.
- thewarriorinme 16y agowow getting late over here, thanks for catching that {insert aim foot in mouth emoticon} lol
- tomhenderson 16y agoEspecially moderation.
- Kolya 16y agoWhile it is always nice to see someone turn their life around, I'm not sure how important or appropriate stories like these are. He has a nice voice. That's a nice novelty. But the novelty will wear off. And I can't help finding claims like "he has had his prayers answered" irritating. What about the hundreds of millions of people for whom the world who - for whatever reason - don't "get their prayers answered"? They receive only silence. And what about the brilliant scientists who put prayers aside and achieve results through exceptional diligence and creativity? Don't get me wrong - I'm very happy for the guy. But I'm worried about what the interest in trivial feel-good stories says about our society.
- chr15 16y agoI'm worried about what the interest in trivial feel-good stories says about society In my opinion, it says that people can be compassionate and loving. It's not everyday that we hear such a heartwarming story when most news outlets report of crime and the latest celebrity gossip.
- lawyerscout 16y agoI think you are missing the point. This story gives those whose prayers aren't answered yet hope that it is possible.
