Songs in the Key of LIE.
Stevie Wonder, famously blind
ivory tinkler, has pulled his woolly jumper over
the eyes of the music world and beyond for years.
Until now that is.
Famed Idiotica zoom lenser Duncan
Hedges has caught Mr Wonder in a photograph playing
ping-pong with his clinical non-seeing uncle,
Ray Charles, and writing the scores on a
black board.
The film is still at Boots,
but the evidence when it gets back will be incontravertible.
So how has Stevie been faking it? We at Idiotica
reckon here's how:
1) Wearing dark glasses to hide
his 20/20 vision.
2) Knocking over drinks at parties.
3) Rocking back and forth at
his keyboard.
Idiotica suspects there's an
iceberg whose tip of which this is just the. We'll
be keeping our eyes peeled for other duplicitous
celebrity disabilities - so our message to blindies
is this: watch this space, if you can.
STEVIE'S
4 NEAR SLIP-UPS:
1) 1982- during a live
performance of "Hello, yes I just called
to say I love you" Stevie forgot the chorus
and asked to see the lyrics.
2) 1987 - Stevie's new
image is a lot like that of top funny laugh actor
Eddie Murphy. Has he seen Beverly Hills
Cop II?
3) 1994 - Stevie "accidentally"
fell into Quincy Jones' swimming pool. No one
noticed so he swam to the ladder and got out,
without any help from his guide dog.
4) He can play the piano. |
