Have I ever mentioned how much I suck at pop culture?

Re [Quiz]Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

72%. I forgot how many bad movies he has been in.

But do you know he is not the most "connected" actor in that big UVA database? Do you know who is?

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Hm. I hate to show my ignorance by guessing, so I'll just say "no"

I have no idea. I want to say someone like James Woods, but I'm sure that's wrong. It's probably some mediocre character actor. Tell, please!

Hey Amy - I can't see peoples' results so I don't know who got what wrong. Shouldn't I be able to see the stats?

Rod Steiger.

I read the study, and it was interesting. What connected him to so many people (the article was about the 6 degrees work done over the years and is in Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point). Anyway, Steiger was in a wide variety of films so he worked with many folks in different genres. He also had a very long career that spanned multiple generations.

Kinda interesting.

Re [Quiz]Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

90% because nearly the only movie listed that I haven't seen was the DeNiro one.
