Okay, Let’s get something straight right away: I’m not, nor have I ever been, legendary rock guitarist Randy Bachman.
Never sang “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” Don’t know the words to “Let It Ride,” can barely fake it through “Got No Time.” I don’t play guitar very well at all. I’m not even Canadian.
That’s it. Nothing more to say. Full stop. Period, paragraph. End of report. Triple hash marks. Good night Irene. Katie bar the door. Hasta luego Buckwheat.
But some of you are confused, or more likely, goading me. This ought to make it clear:
See? And I even tried my best to resemble Randy Bachman. I had to use my ukulele, because I don’t have a custom made Epiphone (a tricked out Emperor by the look of that pickguard). Does that settle it? Good.
I know this is my fault, since I made the mistake of causing myself to resemble George Lucas. Now everybody and their mother thinks I resemble everybody and their mother.
So I say why not? Bring it on. Send me pictures of people that you think I resemble and I’ll do my damndest to resemble them so you can be certain that I don’t. I’ll pick the top three resemblances sent in. The winner, the person who sends in the picture of someone I most leastly resemble after I prove that I don’t, will get a Rifftrax Virtual Autograph, like the sample below.
So let’s get busy finding people that I will prove don’t remotely resemble me!

I don’t think you don’t resemble Michael McDonald:
http://starbulletin.com/2000/10/12/features/story2.html
Of course, I do not dislike not hearing his music. I don’t find his voice not annoying and don’t think to myself that I don’t wish he wouldn’t just die already. But you, Kevin, I would never wish you were not to come to no bodily harm. Oh no, not at all.

If I ever bump into Randy Bachman, I’m totally going to call him Kevin.

If you ever bump into Randy Bachman, we’ll all shed a tear at your passing, as he currently weighs roughly in the neighborhood of 8,000 lbs, and rising with no end in sight.

On a side note you also favor the guy from Mad TV who played as Kenny Rodgers in a few skit’s. This picture may been seen on the below page he’s the one wearing the red flannel shirt.

OH, you can have the Kenny Rogers credit. I know that the wrath of Kevin is far reaching and he would have no qualms about tracking me down and beating me senseless. With Kevin’s unlimited resources, team of private investigators and massive legal team, it would only be a matter of time before he would have beaten the brakes off of me. Being left bleeding in a Minneapolis dumpster is not really high on my to do list. I think it would be safer to mess with Scientology than it would be to tangle with the Murphster.

Back in the eighties, I used to watch WWF Wrestling and constantly found myself asking myself, “What is Kevin Murphy of that show that doesn’t even exist yet, and if it did, that I couldn’t even watch over here in Germany, and if I could, that never even shows Kevin as himself, doing in the ring?!”
I later learned that the gentleman I quite understandably confused Kevin with was, of course, “Macho Man” Randy Savage: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c372/ryanmediocre2/RandySavage.jpg
