Ted Williams: The MAN with a Golden Voice
As Reported on Los Angels Times:
“Ted Williams, a former radio announcer, was living in a tent near a highway, his life ruined by drugs and alcohol, until the Columbus Dispatch posted a video of him begging for money, thus showcasing the man with the golden voice.
The video, which highlighted his majestically silky voice, went viral on the Internet. Williams, 56, has since been flooded with job offers, including one from NFL Films and another from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who offered him a two-year contract and volunteered to pay for his living expenses.”
This is the most common sight for all of us in India. I think maybe we can find people living in such tents and part time shelters in every nook and corner. On every traffic signal we see such people either selling books, balloons, toys, begging money, making fool of you by posing pregnant, injured or lost in the city with family with no money.
There was even a movie named “Traffic Signal” on the life of such people.
Perhaps, now it doesn’t even catch our attention.
But let’s make a guess as to what would have happened to the man, if he would have been begging on any Traffic Signal of any Indian City????????
I think that he would have continued begging on the streets and may be would have graduated to begging on trains after sometime.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he could have made to any reality shows either.
this is reeely very amezin ... i like it... good job done... :) :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure he would have begged his whole life...
ReplyDeleteI guess even if someone would have captured him in a video, it might be broadcasted by a few news channels just to fill their slot making it a big-hype. The viewers would discuss this among themselves for a minute inside the four walls. And then the next day, this news would disappear from people's minds and the idiot box too.
