Give the man a break.

If illegals are legal in the US, lie is truth.

I guess there were too many sacred cows here.

Hiroshima.

Deafness.

Struggle against adversity.

Inspiring story.

Yabba dabba do. So, the Japanese media didn't look into it properly.

Same in the US. We have the fiction that Obama rose from adversity and blah blah when he was shoehorned in by the most powerful elites of this country who control the media, banks, and academia.

Obama symphony is so phony. Dreamwork from his cronies.

Phony just like his Nobel prize.

The guy's deafness itself was faked.

Reminds me a bit of Haruki Murakami's recent novel 1Q84, in which a literary fraud figures prominently.

Few people know that Bach was blind, or that Handle was also blind. And fewest yet that both were blinded by the same doctor.

I've always been suspicious of the whole Helen Keller thing.

Pretending to be deaf = uber-grind.

Reminds me of the other time something like this happened with a Japanese vid'ya game music composer...

Yes, but will we ever really know who wrote the hit songs of the Dave Clark Five?

Beethoven was half-Flemish. (Hence, or whence, the "van".) He could just as easily have become a deaf painter. And we wouldn't have cared.

Toulouse-Lautrec was squat and homely, yet managed to get beautiful models to strip for him. Now there's an exception. But having both a city and a hyphen in his name probably helped.

The idea of an exception that proves the rule bugged me for years. Then I saw Michael Jordan do it in the Olympics. He drove against a zone defense. Very hard rule - never drive against a zone. No problem for MJ. When a defender got squarely in his way he just jumped over him and dunked on the way down. OK, if you're MJ you can drive against a zone - It just makes the good sense of the rule more obvious.

The only other composer I know of who went deaf, but continued to compose, was Bedřich Smetana, who was deaf for the last decade of his life during which he composed a number of his best-known works. But there are no others that I know of--certainly not of Beethoven's calibre.
