Anyway, the best I can do is 7 or 8 degrees: My GRANDFATHER's boyhood friend was JAMES DOOHAN; who, as (Star Trek's) "Scotty", was a frequent co-star of WILLIAM SHATNER, an occasional guest on "Late Night With DAVID LETTERMAN"; whose musical director PAUL SHAFFER met PRINCE CHARLES (and possibly the QUEEN HERSELF) at Expo '86 in Vancouver; and those royals have certainly had their encounters with the FABS over the years. So, there: about 7-8 degrees. (ILMers who live in England/Scotland would obviously have far less convoluted connections.)

After it finished and we were milling round outside, he came up to a group of us and asked us if we'd enjoyed it. He was waiting for his mercedes to arrive.
(Incidentally, he looked a little overweight in real life that day - he must be quite photogenic).

2. I was once in a band (which was based in Henley) with a drummer part of whose drumkit had allegedly been "liberated" from George Harrison's mansion, and with a gutarist who was arrested for spraying "FUCK THE REGATTA" on the garden wall of that same property.

He was. The original (posted in his contribution), and Band Aid 20 where he played the bass.
So that gives me two degrees of separation if we count tenuous meeting with people he's worked with, i.e. he was on BandAid 20 withNeil Hannon who I have borrowed a lighter from and Thom Yorke who I have interviewed.
