Three degrees of seperation
-
Here's a little time killer. Think of a person/group and go back three connections to another person/group
Virtual chocolate fish if someone guesses the connections. Must be tangible connections not just 'liked' or 'influenced by'Goes like this: Person A to Link1 to Link2 to PersonB. You must find the links.
First puzzle (keeping it easyish to start):
A: Nine Inch Nails
B :
C :
D : Marc Bolan -
NIN recorded "I'm Afraid of Americans" written and recorded by David Bowie, who was Marc Bolan's best mate. Will that do?
-
@JC Reckon Bowie is Link C B could also be Iggy who inducted NIN into the Hall of Fame and well Bowie right.

Not enough steps

Not Bowie as a link. Probably more than one answer but I have gone for a very strong one
-
You lot aren't much fun.
Clue - an 80s band is the first link. -

-
@Crucial An 80s band. That narrows it down.
-
@Hooroo I thought of that but couldn't think of a the next link
-
I can do
NIN (well Trent Reznor)
Is in the video of I'm Afraid of Americans by David Bowie. The two toured together in 95/96
David Bowie's long time producer was Tony Visconti
Tony Visconti was the producer for T-Rex
Marc Bolan -
Is the 80's band Joy Division? I know they were heavily influenced by Bolan and NIN have covered them a few times but can't work out an intermediate link?

Marc BolanWell thought but the first is NIN so Reznor is a link.
Probably too many obtuse ways to do this.NIN were fans of and recorded songs by Soft Cell.
Sit Cells biggest hit was a cover of Tainted Love by Gloria Jones
Jones was driving the car that hit a tree and killed passenger Bolan -

@mariner4life yeah could have:
T Rex
An Artist who drove through Richmond Deer Park while T Rex were on the Radio
Another artist who drove through Richmond Deer Park who played the same venue as NIN
NIN -
This post is deleted! -
@dogmeat Or if we allow influences and fans...
A. NIN : their wiki page says Reznor is a fan of...
B. Gary Numan : who as a "a teenage millionaire pretending it's a whizz kid world" inspired the song Teenage Wildlife by...
C. David Bowie: who was best mates with...
D. Marc BolanAs you can see, I'm determined to shoehorn Bowie in there, because today I'm wearing my Blackstar tee shirt.

Punctuation aside, if we just go with "fans of jesus" we can link millions of people.

True. None of us even noticed that you've spelled "Separation" incorrectly
