Video Saved by the Radio Star
A homeless man who has lived on the streets of Cleveland, USA for years, has shot to fame,
after a clip of his mellifluous radio voice went viral on the Internet. Ted Williams was filmed
by a local cameraman, holding a cardboard sign that read: “I’m an ex-radio announcer who
has fallen on hard times”. Williams is seen in the video asking for money in exchange for a
quick blast of his “God-given voice”. Now that the video has had millions of hits on YouTube,
Williams, has become an overnight sensation.
He has spent today appearing on talk shows across America, sporting a new haircut and a
smarter appearance than on the clip that made him famous.
Since his story broke, he has received numerous job offers from big broadcasting names
including ESPN, MTV, ABC, CBS and CNN and The Cleveland Cavaliers.
Williams has been on the streets for years and has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction
for years.
The story of the “homeless man with the golden pipes” has lifted the spirits of a recession-hit
nation in the week that it has returned to work after the Christmas holidays. However, the
instant hero has attracted so much attention that reporters have started digging into his
background and they have discovered that Williams has struggled with drug and alcohol
addiction for years and has pressed the self-destruct button previously in his life. Asked if the
media storm around him may cause him to relapse into addiction, he said, “I’m going to
meetings and I have called my sponsor.”
Accusations have also surfaced that Williams acted as a pimp during his years on the streets.
In response, Williams said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover – everyone has their own little
story. I’m just so thankful. God has blessed me deeply. I’m getting a second chance. Amazing.”
What a
great story!
