Anyone thought of this game yet? Ok so you heard of six degrees of Kevin Bacon. The point of the game is to connect a person to Prince that would only separate them by six other people. Six people to connect Prince to some other famous person. To make it easy, we can go as low as 4.
OK I'll start...cuz I'm reasonably good at this shit. This one is easy
I can connect Prince to Arnold Schwarzeneggar by 5 degrees: Here we go!!

1. Arnold was in the film Commando with Rae Dawn Chong
2. Rae Dawn Chong's brother Marcus was in the Matrix (played Tank)
3, Marcus costarred with Keanu Reeves
4. Keanu costarred with Nona Gaye in Matrix 2 and 3
5. Nona's was once Prince's girlfriend

Think you know how vast Princey's rabbit hole goes??? Try it....and to make it challenging ....leave out a degree or two and see if another orger can fill the gap!

I don't know how many responses it will get, but it sounds fun. I'm gonna sleep on it and post in the morning.

dayum i shoulda thought of that

This one is pretty easy, but 5 degrees of separation of Prince from Kurt Cobain:

1. Kurt Cobain was a good friend of Anthony Kiedis

lezama said:

2. Anthony Kiedis was on a George Clinton song called "Martial Law"

3. "Martial Law" was released on Paisley Park Records.

4. Paisley Park Records was based out of Paisley Park Studios.

5. Prince owns Paisley Park Studios.

I could have skipped degree #4 and just said Prince owns the record label, but I had to stretch it to 5 degrees. 4 degrees would be cheating.

Prince & Me! in 9 degrees Here we go!...

1. I have a laptop
2. The laptop has internet access
3. The internet has websites called youtube and google
4. Youtube has Jamie Foxx's stand up piece on Prince
5. Which caused me to google Prince
6. I found prince.org in google
7. prince.org led me to download Prince stuff
8. One of those downloads was "Rave Un2 The Year 2000"
9. Prince said "I love you all (meanin me) too"

berniejobs said:

Hmmm. That works, and more easily than what I was thinking of (via Carmen Elektra).

I'm obviously not good at this kinda stuff, but it sounds like fun

berniejobs said:

Uh, what about:

1) Kurt was friends with Kiedis
2) Kiedis was on a George Clinton Song, meaning they met
