GLORIA, GET YOUR UNEXPERIENCED ASS TO A SITE WHERE YOU CAN TALK WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT. APPARENTLY, YOU HAVE NEVER WALKED A MILE IN THOSE SHOES....YOU OUGHTTA TRY THEIR SHOES ON FOR A MONTH...THEN TELL SOMEONE THAT ALL THEY NEED IN LIFE IS FOOD AND A BED!!! YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BAD

YOUR IGNORANCE MAKES YOU LOOK BAD

Karaoke is Japanese for "Empty Orchestra", not Tone Deaf. I am a nightclub owner in San Diego and the first to bring karaoke to California. I know what Karaoke means. If you have an insult to throw, do not throw it at such a good cause Mr. Tommy Treadway.

Yes, these people need more help than coming to a place and singing, but at least this karaoke is a respite, a break, from their otherwise bleak lives. And for some of them, it may be the beginnings of a spark, a desire, a hope to be able to get off the streets. Hope does spring eternal, but it has to start somewhere. Homeless Karaoke is as good a place as any.
