Oh you're kidding me.
Seriously, I wondered if it was something along the lines of 'Morrissey is the least likely person to have had a successful music career since... since... I dunno, Beethoven - - because Beethoven was deaf.'
I think it's more of a self deprecation...
You have to be deaf to listen to this.

hehe, reminds me of a anecdote someone posted on this site once (can't quite remember who
) whereby they'd been in a pub playing pool with some men, and in relation to Morrissey, one of them said "He's had a really good career for a deaf bloke" I think it may have been in a thread called "Amusing Morrissey Faux-Pas" or something like that, it was quite a while ago. Funny anyway

Thanks for giving us a good laugh, I told my children about this and they just looked at me and said 'because he was deaf'.
It's nearly as bad as the person who didn't know what the National Front was.
There was me thinking Morrissey fans were intelligent.

I am mine.
admitably not knowing who the NF are isn't so bad as at is a british only organisation.
I always thought it was a self deprecatory humouristic jape. We all know Beethoven was deaf, but what about the stupendous music? Moz is saying, yes, it's alive show, and you may not like the music, but you can't disagree that I'm pretty bloody good.

I agree with UncleSkinny...Except...
If you look at the title its Beethoven was deaf, I think Morrissey is drawing parrallels
Beethoven, despite his physical condition of deafness wrote fantastic music.
Morrissey at one point had a speech impedement, a physical condition that did not prevent him becomming one of the greatest singers.
Well thats my intepritation.

C'mon, you can put Nazi instead of NF, not very nice to pick on such a petty thing.
Someone already made this point, somewhere.

That point was also made in an earlier thread.
