[QUOTE="Revvv, post: 16080292, member: 189537"] The homeless issue is complex. There are those that we all know are addicts in some form or another. This leads to the person disowning those that love them, or his family abandoning the person. That is tragic, and these people need a lot of support in order to return to society and serve am active roll. There are others that are thrust into homeless situations. They find themselves without any options. These people need generosity and encouragement. They do not want to live on the streets. I can't tell you how many times I have been in Nashville and met homeless buskers just trying to earn a dollar with music. In any other town these people could be stars, but Nashville is tough, and to truly "make it" you have to be connected or unique. I have seen people bathing in the fountains. [USER=118253]@Deceptive[/USER] has likely seen it too. A lot of the people I have talked to have family, but due to finances they struggle to get back home. Let's face reality; after a week of no shower, a possinle limited change of clothes, dumpster diving for food, and an unkempt look, landing a job is close to impossible? How does one get a job without an address? Musicians have my heart. My production company isn't like most. I don't start out talking about money. I begin with talent. I have recorded many artists for free just to help them move to the next level. If a song I help write, produce, and engineer makes it then there is money to be made. Otherwise the client is on my time. I have seen one too many people sell their soul trying to share their art, only to be taken advantage of, drained dry, and dumped on the curb. I am able to help artists in need by writing and selling tracks and beat loops, mixing local commercials, producing a few established bands, and so on. I give from the extra time I have. I know this is a little off topic, but this is a college kid that needed a break.
