    I don't care what anyone says, "it's just the internet", it's an insanely powerful tool. Because some random guy uploaded a video about him, he is now turning his life around and has a solid future.

    The Internet is incredibly powerful.

    I watched the clip and I'm forced to concur, that man should absolutely be working on radio! Or possibly voice-acting. :)

    Lovely story overall, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

    Are you saying someone who steadfastly refuses to do anything to support themselves doesn't deserve homelessness?

    This guy is obviously not that, though I think he could have done more. All he really needed to do was walk right into any radio station and start talking. Even if they didn't hire him, word would have gotten out, quick.

    He said two years, and during the interview the guy definitely seemed lucid, so, maybe, just maybe.

    Hopefully the new found fame doesn't overwhelm.

    I've seen this video back when it had 1.4 million views one day ago :D
    History in the making right there!

    Linked video has now since been removed.

    Unnecessary, though it's still all over youtube.

    Great voice, but in a couple of months drugs, booze, and prostitutes, the good life, will catch him again.
    Hope not, but.....

    "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by The Dispatch. "

    WTF how is that possible!! He was in a public place, there is no copy right to infringe here!
    looks like he's sold out already.

    People have no lives or common sense crapping copyright claims to youtube to take down videos like that. It's never in their favour, it either ends up causing no gain to them or actually causing loss.

    Maybe the guy who took the video sold it to The Dispatch? If you take a picture even in a public place you still have rights over the image. You can sell the image and the copyright.

    That's probably true many times and it's been reported many 'leaked' videos were actually done by the companies to generate buzz.
