youre not against people getting back on their feet, yet youre against anyone with a criminal record working, because they are inferior to greater members of society such as yourself....i dont understand how those ideas mesh... nobody is feeling bad for him, they discovered his talent and want him to work for them as you said before, they offered him jobs before they knew anything about him...how could they feel bad for him if they know nothing about his circumstances? they heard his voice, his skilled trade, and offered him work...he got famous in the process because its rare to come across a talent like that on the street its not like they just picked some random homeless person and decided they felt bad for them and were gonna give them free money....they just happened to find one with a skill, and it happens to be a skill worth a lot of money
