How About Saving A Buck?

Entertainment Tonight Canada had an interview with JD Fortune. Do you remember him? He was the Canadian guy who won that INXS reality show competition and got to be their new lead singer. He was such a great story because before the contest he had been living out of his car and dead broke. Well, after he won the contest he toured with the band for about two years before they fired him and now he is broke and homeless and living in his car. He didn't indicate if it was the same car as before or if he has a different car he is calling home now.

Here's the thing about this. I think that homeless people have it rough and it is so hard to build any momentum to ever get out of your car or off the streets. The odds are stacked way against you. Homeless people who make it off the streets rarely let themselves go back. I don't know if we are supposed to feel sorry for this guy now or what. But, I will say that if I got paid the kind of salary he got paid for two years and had virtually no expenses I would not be living back in a car after it was over. What the hell did he spend all his money on? Did he think the gig would last a lifetime? Nothing lasts forever. It was such a cool story when he won the contest and I think everyone really wanted him to win. Now I think he is just some kind of idiot for letting himself get back into the same place again with no chance of winning the lottery a second time.
