    Is Stevie Wonder really blind?
    Stevie Wonder catching a falling microphone stand during a live performance...this video is one of the key arguments in the conspiracy theory that he is not actually blind.

      I've seen him attending sporting events. I don't know if he seen them or not, but he was there.

      Obviously the explanation in this situation is his advanced sonar senses.

        Maybe he is legally blind and not 100% (like he can make objects out as a haze but not see anything clearly?)

                    The microphone stand slowly fell into his arm and he just grabbed at it. The video is bogus

                      Actually I don't care if he is blind or not, anyone who can write "Innervisions" is a genius!

                        He didn't even reach for the microphone stand.

                        But I'll tell you what.... I saw him weave to the side when WTC #7 fell.... how did he know?

                          Exactly. His move towards the stand was him dancing. Someone else clearly caught it.

                            He wears an earpiece and receives instructions all the time based on what's happening on stage, plus a blind person has heightened senses and he might have known the mike was falling... nothing unusual.

                              Always thought his blindness was a marketing ploy. Now we know for sure.

                                nah... he's blind.... when you can't see, your other senses compensate...... and, you begin to know things, spacially, through years of experience and common sense.... ie, when he drops something, he knows about where it is b/c that's the way its always been..... for eg, even you dumbasses, after ten beers, if you hold a beer in your hand with your arm extended outward at a level slightly above your head, with your eyes closed, and released it and tried then to catch it with your eyes closed before it hit the ground, you'd know from common sense about where to try and grab it.....

                                this poor mo fo has been blind for a long time, and has honed his skills in dropping weed pipes, blow straws, wine bottles, etc. etc. etc., and can catch em on the way down with ease. this mike was mere childs play for a guy who can catch a tiny straw that slips between his fingers before it hits the ground....

                                i'm tellin' you... practice it a few times, it's not that hard..... (the bottle trick, not the blow staw trick....)
