    A homeless man who __________________ on the streets of Cleveland, USA for years, ____________ 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 _____________ 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
    ____________ millions of hits on YouTube, Williams, __________________ an overnight sensation.

    He ________________ 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 __________________ numerous job offers from big broadcasting names including ESPN,
    MTV, ABC, CBS and CNN and The Cleveland Cavaliers.

    Williams _________________ on the streets for years and _____________ with drug and alcohol addiction for
    years.

    The story of the “homeless man with the golden pipes” ________________ the spirits of a recession-hit nation in
    the week that it _________________ to work after the Christmas holidays. However, the instant hero
    ________________so much attention that reporters ______________________ digging into his background and
    they _______________________ that Williams ______________________ with drug and alcohol addiction for
    years and ______________________ 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 ___________________
    my sponsor.”

    Accusations _______ also ________________ 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 __________________ me deeply. I’m getting a second chance. Amazing.”

    There are fears though that Williams will not be able to cope with his new status as an instant hero. They say that
    he will be a flash in the pan; and his fairytale story is being used by the media to reinforce American Dream
    propaganda; at a time when America is in serious economic difficulties and the gap between the rich and poor is
    rapidly increasing.
