Homeless DJ Update

The reaction to the homeless guy with the great voice was unbelievable. Yesterday morning at this time, I mentioned the video had gone viral with over 2 million views. I just checked it again, and it's up to 11 million. In one day.

Now that's a viral video.

So what has happened to Ted Williams, the homeless DJ? He's gotten a job offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers, and inquiries from NFL Films, MTV, and Fox. It looks very good for him--an actual happy ending is possible.

But he has one small problem that is keeping him from going to New York to appear on the Today Show (and visit his mother, who he hasn't seen for years). He doesn't have an ID, so he can't get on a plane. TMZ has the all the details.
