What do you think of weird al yankovic?
I wish Clifton Chenier were America’s best-known accordion player. That way I could talk to people about Les Blank’s film “Hot Pepper” instead of Weird Al’s records and videos. Or I could talk about Blank’s film “Garlic Is As Good as Ten Mothers” in which Clifton’s wife is shown denouncing garlic powder while slicing clove after fresh clove into the gumbo. That’s what I usually end up talking about anyway when I am asked this question, so I guess it’s not a problem.
