Title made me think this was just an article explaining the well known Kevin Bacon thing, but it’s so much more than that!

Man, fuck that site. It's got a draggy animation that punked my browser out hard enough the article wouldn't load.
I play a similar game sometimes, inspired by this one.
Any time I read the page of anything about media, I try to make my way back to Will Oldham. It's shockingly easy for an artist most people have never heard of
There does not seem to be anything more than an explanation of the 6 degrees game. What am I missing?
