I see Kevin Bacon is campaigning for Edwards, which provides an opportunity to share this story.
Was in a cab in Boston during the DNC in 2004. I believe Ezra Klein, then age 12, and some other similarly young people were in the car. Someone said something along the lines of, "Check out that old dude in the next car who's trying to look like a rock star."
I looked over and said, "Actually, he looks like Kevin Bacon." Then, noticing the woman driving the car was Kyra Sedgwick, I said, "Actually, that is Kevin Bacon."
At which point we all turned and stared and the poor guy felt the need to pull his hat down lower over his face.
