Six Degrees of Prince™

No doubt that some of you are familiar with the old Six degrees of Kevin Bacon internet game, where the idea is to link Kevin Bacon to any other famous actor.

Well why not start one with Prince?

Here are the rules...

If you are the first person to guess the artist that I name at the end of this post, then it is your turn to name an artist that everyone else has to guess. Whoever guesses that one names the next artist and so on.

The person must be familiar (ie not your best friend you get drunk with evey friday night!)

The way that you link the stars can be obscure and ridiculous if U like, BUT they must be true! (ie, to link Bruce Springsteen and Prince you can't say that Bruce watched Purple Rain in the movies once)


Here is an example of how to link people...

Artist- Axl Rose

Axl Rose was in guns n Roses with Slash who played guitar on Michael Jackson's Give in to me. Michael appeared on stage with James Brown and James Brown invited Prince up onto stage with him.

Axl- Slash- MJ- James Brown- Prince


OK, now you know how it works, let's get the ball rolling

The first celebrity that I will name is...

Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy- Arsenio Hall- Prince
