Do you know the Six degrees of separation concept?
It refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth.
Vice Australia is basing its next issue on that theme. They asked six different people, artists, photographers to design a cover for the issue. So it’s gonna be six different covers.
They chose those people because they’re all one step away from each other.
I believe it’s Vincent from the Midnight Juggernauts who mentioned my name.
I must be at the end at the chain cause I haven’t been asked any !
Although I’m 2 steps away from Obama, Madonna and Tom Cruise.

Also in case you don’t know this GAME, try it.
It’s called the Kevin Bacon game.
An online database of all movies allows you to check how many degrees is any actor on this planet away from kevin Bacon, who once claimed he knew everyone in Hollywood. It’s funny to see how hard it is to score more than 3 degrees, even if you try an obscure actor from India, or… France.
I once mentioned Louis de Funès on this blog, who’s big in France, but pretty old school, well :
Louis de Funès has a Bacon number of 2.
