The viola player Kim Kashkashian won a Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Solo.

US mass media got excited. They thought she was someone connected to Kanye West.

Kim has had to go on the record to deny any connection with those plastic people.

‘I’m a middle-aged mother and a classical musician,’ she protests.

Can’t anyone tell the difference?

    No, we can’t tell the difference, because both of your photos are of Ms. Kardashian, not Kashkashian.

  • Bviolinistic says:

    Ms Kashkashian is infinitely more attractive

  • William says:

    It should be noted that this story (and the Grammy) are from 2013. Still relevant perhaps, though not as timely.

    There is a Google browser add-on which blocks all news about the Kardashians (all of them). It was designed for this purpose only, and it works! Install it if you can. It will enhance your life quality.

    This has happened to me several times.

  • John King says:

    I imagine this confusion causes the violinist to play some…….’bum’ notes
