> [@dropzone](#): > > You’re thinking of [Liberace](http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=oPAe_uHERy4), who was those things. Welk played the accordion and had [Myron Floren](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqURmXMEGFI) do his heavy lifting. Hah! You’re absolutely right - and I should have known it. I was pictuing Liberace while typing Welk. Was Welk a bad big band leader? I don’t know that there was any serious technical deficiency there - which there should be for the Kenny G comparison to hold. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > Paris Hilton is the Kenny G of acting. Even Kenny G isn’t _that_ bad. The correct answer is that Shia LeBeouf is the Kenny G of acting. Paris, however, _is_ the Kenny G of modeling. Snooki is the Kenny G of reality TV shows. ---

> [@Johnny\_Q](#): > > McDonalds is the Kenny G of fast food. If that. This makes no sense. You mean, compared to all the other soulful and heartfelt fast food restaurants? Like, Wendy’s and Burger King are REAL fast food, McDonalds is watered down pablum for the soccer moms and suburban dads who want to like fast food but don’t really like fast food? ---
