And Thank you to the media for giving these young people the idea that their happiness could be found in the glitz of Las Vegas.

Hmmm..
age 14-18, means children of Xers.
Kinda undoes that "we are unselfish" banner the Xers like to wave.
But I knew better anyhow. And it is big fun watching Xers crash and burn as they try to advance their career and find that when everyone gets a ribbon that you don't learn how to compete.

He says his foster father was a good man who offered to support him if he chose college over music. Unwilling to give up his guitar, Stone quit high school and began life on the street.I feel sorry for the kid for the rough childhood that he had and his abandonment by his loser mother. But he was offered a second chance by a foster father that obviously cared about him and he threw it away.

Unwilling to give up his guitar, Stone quit high school and began life on the street.While there can be no denying that his birth mother and original upbringing were horrid to say the least, he was given another chance with a man who obviously cared about him and he chose to walk away from it. He is now reaping what he sowed and I don't feel sorry for him.

Sounds like his difficulties in life are mostly of his own making. How many college kids go to class in the day and play a local club at night and on the weekends? He could've done that, but he just wanted what he perceived as a quick fix to his emotional problems: a big payday and stardom in Hollywood.
Had he succeeded and was wealthy, he'd be just as miserable; the only difference would be the size of his bank account.

Now Stone is broke and doesn't know anyone except the few friends he smokes pot with as they roam the streets.Always seems to be enough money for some pot, right?

Stone never spoke with the British accent he now affects Strange...must be a Madonna fan.

"You just think, 'What did I do to deserve this? What did I do to get here?'" Um, made stupid choices and rejected the opportunities presented you?

Has anyone ever seen the Three Stooges episode where Larry (himself an accomplished musician) walks, ragged and downtrodden, into a restaurant with his violin, and asks the manager for a gig? The manager asks him what he charges. He says that he usually gets $40 an hour. To which the manager replies, "I'll give ya a bowl of soup ... if you're good." He takes it.

It's called freedom (choice), see your own statement above.
Stone never spoke with the British accent he now affects and he wore Polo shirts, not polyester bell bottoms. He was an excellent student, active in a church youth group and was taking a horsemanship class, Baker says
Within three weeks of turning 18, Stone had quit high school and was gone. Baker had no idea where his foster son was until The Associated Press called him for this story 1 1/2 years later.
Apparently, Stone had every opportunity to any life he chose, he chose poorly. As the saying goes, "You have to live the blues to play the Blues". Welcome to "Life", Stone.

Probably lots of unhappy people in Hollywood ... even the ones with homes. From what I have seen they lead very superficial life styles.

At his lowest point, Stone says, he worked at a Subway shop ... At your lowest point? You had to take a job! WTF! IMO of course.

What a loser....thumbing his nose at a free ride to college.
There was a girl in my office making a pittance to answer phones. She was drop dead gorgeous. Was one quarter Cherokee and was eligible for a free ride to the college of her choice + $100.00 a week spending cash. Instead chose to hang out in Chicago dating loser musicians....I tried to tell her she was missing out not only a education but also great fun...a place like Arizona State. Last time I talked to her she just had an abortion and was working a dead end job.
Stupid is that stupid does.

He's desperate to make music - and to recreate himself - on this new stage
A bizarre thing is
when the very young Beatles
returned from Hamburg,
they were pretty close
to being this desperate.
And, ironically,
they were only "saved"
because a gay shop owner
fell in love with John.
So, these homeless kids
are certainly in bad shape,
but they're not out yet.

Two points in his favor. He doesn't seem to be blaming anyone else. He's still trying.

This kid's situation is his own choice. Sad, in a way, but not "society's" fault.
