[...] From art-rocker Robert Fripp to hip-hopper Flavor Flav — how many degrees of separation? [...]

I have found several ways for the two-step. A couple of Flavor Flav’s guest appearances make that trivial. One maddening thing is that FF has recorded with one person who is a good friend of RF’s, hangs out with him occasionally, and has played on the same bill as him… but I can’t find any reference to anywhere they’ve played together.

No word on the one-step yet. (One possible source of confusion: what I, and, I think, you refer to as a one-step — a single person with whom both have played –is called a two-step by DGM. So I called a three-step in my message what we’re thinking of as a two-step. What they would call a one-step would require the two to be the same person. And I think FF is much shorter and younger than RF, so odds are against that.)

I can get from Flavor Flav to Fripp in two steps. Have they ruled on your one-step?

*grin* I wish I still had the autographed Eno… but all my LPs have disappeared (in separate incidents in 1993 and 1997). *sigh*

Are you going to mount it alongside your autographed Eno album?
