Roy Orbison: Not Lonely

Everyone remembers Kevin Bacon and six degrees of separation, which seemed sort of silly to begin with.  Well now a new name has been thrown into the mix: Roy Orbison.  The famed singer-songwriter has a brand new feature on his website where fans can enter their favorite artists to find six degrees, or in some cases, less, of separation between the acts and Orbison.

So you’re wondering how rap mongul 50 Cent is connected to the pioneer of rock ’n roll?  Well that’s easy…well…sort of of.  50 was taught when he was a youngster how to write music by Jam Master Jay of Run DMC.  Run DMC then collaborated with Aerosmith on one of their songs, Aerosmith, in the minds of many were the Americans answer to the Rolling Stones, the Rolling Stones were well known rivals of the Beatles and the Beatles opened for Roy Orbison on his 1963 tour in England.  So there you have it…Roy Orbison=50 Cent.  Well okay…not really, but it’s fun to try!  Check out Stubhub.com to get tickets for any upcoming concert!
