A comment from Drudge:
“When this homeless guy sang this last part of the song’s lyrics he got a little teary-eyed –
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
I don’t belong here…”
Check out the comments on Drudge, the blog which covered this and tipped half the world off to this amazing cover…many of the the comments, good and bad, capture something about the above song in a way no article could. From Drudge:
Homeless Man Rocks Opie and Anthony
On Friday, the Opie and Anthony radio show invited several homeless men they pulled off the street into the studio to promote their annual “homeless shopping spree” bit. When they learned one of the men was a musician who had written some songs, they procured him a guitar. Here’s his version of Radiohead’s “Creep.”






















That's a sweet Taylor 412 he's playing.
I hope they let him keep it!
Story aside, this is a moving performance. Story considered, this is a moving performance.
Fuck, now I have to find a way to help this guy. True passion in music doesn't get any better.
That's a sweet Taylor? Get a life, Chris, it's actually NOT ABOUT THE GUITAR, duh
Wow. I loved this. I really really loved this. Talent and beauty are everywhere despite adversity……..I hope he gets more than this 3 minutes of fame!
He is so fucking special… True talent, why do people lose their temper, their lives and become hobos?:(
