I believe it was a joking reference to the resemblance between the two.

Back then, sure, Rist looked like John Denver’s love child. But you wouldn’t even recognize him today if all you knew was how he looked in the '70s.

And I think I had that 45 when it can out. And I know I had the first Partridge Family album.

It is a mistaken belief that Barry Williams (Greg Brady) was a musical genius of monumental proportions. He just fit the suit.

Several years ago, our illustrious mayor hired K.C. and the Sunshine Band to perform at our summer city festival. The opening act? [Barry Williams as Johnny Bravo](http://www.barrywilliams.net/bravo/index.htm)

Even I rolled my eyes at that one.

He has also done some musical theatre, but as far as I know, will never be allowed to perform in any Equity production again since he took the lead in a non-Equity touring production (I think it might have been Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). So we don’t have to worry about seeing him on Broadway anytime soon. Thank God.
