In the '80s it became fasionable to hire an on-stage sign language artist to sign the song lyrics at folk music concerts.

As long as one of UT's bass line brothers is in the band the deaf can feel the love as well.

It was for the hearing people to feel policitically correct. Just show.

Uncle Griff -

ive always wondered how cool that would be to go into a concert being a deaf person and just see the swarms dancing and grooving to the silence, and then to feel the bass in your chest in time with them.

At which point most deaf people realized how absolutely banal the lyrics to most songs were in the 80's when presented without the music.

Space Age Love Song

I saw your eyes,
And you made me smile;
For a little while
I was falling in love.
I saw your eyes,
And you touched my mind.
Although it took a while,
I was falling in love.
I rest my case.

I love the SNL bit when Garrett Morris was a "shouter" for the "News For The Hard Of Hearing"
