Interesting story about this homeless man with a "gift of voice" discovered along an Ohio freeway. Now he's flooded with job offers including one from the NBA's Cleveland Cavs.

Watched him on the Today Show and wish him well. He was very hyper so I hope he can settle back into the regular world.

I know quite a few people in the regular world who are more hyper and overwhelmed than that on a daily basis just at my office job.... I think he'll be okay! I think the bigger problem will be falling back into the realm of drugs and/or alcohol -- once he has cash flow, it will be easy for him to return to those things.

His voice is pretty outstanding. I hope he gets his life on track, and I'm glad people are giving him another chance.

Its a nice story. Here is some additional information for some proper perspective.

Sadly, it didn't take long for the gentleman to tumble. There was a segment on the Today show about his reunion with his kids. Unfortunately, the reunion turned into a argument with the kids and him being taken to jail. I don't think he was arrested, but he did check himself into a rehab center for alcohol abuse.

Not a shock he would still be drinking since that happens to many homeless. Hopefully, he will make it.

It is sad, and not a shock.

However, it is normally the drinking that precedes the homelessness, not the other way around.

He didn't go to jail. The cops showed up at their hotel room after an argument and detained/questioned them before releasing them.
