How cool is that?
Depends on your take on Gene Simmons & GF.

Now, if i had a such a connection, however distant, i would certainly not mention it in public.

I dunno about this. It doesn't seem that remarkable. I know lots of people who know Obama. I used to live in his adopted Chicago neighbourhood, and his first political sponsor is someone i've had dinner with on several occasions.

My hi-school buddy's ex-girlfriend is a Hollywood character actor & sister of a bigger star, so through her i know everyone in Hollywood.

Through my editor, i know every intellectual and writer worth knowing in Japan. Zappa & the mothers used to stay at a friend's place when they were in New Haven. (I hope Zappa never schmoozed with Gene!!) I myself have conversed with Cornelius Castoriadis, saw Derrida with my own eyes, cooked for Yoshimoto Banana etc. etc.

So I guess all of you know Linda Evans by 2 degrees.
