Love is Like a Diamond

One of the greatest house tracks ever made--a classic I return to now and then

Old G

Old G was robbing candy stores in his youth, and soldiers in his adulthood.
Now he leads a quieter life, as Philadelphia's self-proclaimed "Mayor of the Homeless." 

A friend of mine recently founded a website dedicated to making homeless people visible in the online sphere.  It contains photos and stories of colorful people who've had shady pasts, shit luck and hard lives.    

I think it's an interesting concept and will be fun to watch as it grows and evolves.  Homeless people need more dignity and need to have their stories heard.  I think the internet is a more comfortable place for your average citizen to learn about a homeless person than--say--out on the street.  If the stories and pictures are enough to change a person's mind about the homeless problem, then it will be a truly great website.
