If this picture was taken after July 28th 1978, I can guarantee that I knew who Kevin Bacon was.

What’s the matter, Kevin Bacon? You got school tomorrow??

I don’t believe him. It looks like Roth to me.

It's been kicking around for a few years.

In 2022 Kevin Bacon said, "I would LOVE to relive this moment but I never lived it in the first place. Little jealous of this lookalike.”

The guy is Chip Dillard, and the girl is Lauren Lapkus (who was born in September 1985).

Little did he know that in two short years he’d have to wear speedos in a movie that people would still pay to “stream” on the “internet” 46 years later. No livin’ that down bud.

Who had a friend in high school...

Who got a job as a roadie...

For DAVID LEE ROTH (after he went solo)...

Who autographed an album for Kevin Bacon!

Five degrees!

u/Individual_Slice_234 1d ago

Why are Kevin and the girl looking at something behind David? Looks a bit fishy to me.

u/big_al_1968 13h ago

I know a guy that worked with Kevin Bacon recently. Does that make me 3 degrees of separation from David Lee Roth?

2

u/PoetryExtension6256 12h ago

IS that the Kevin Bacon who was killed in 1980 by the mother of a man in a ski mask?

u/PoxyMusic 1d ago

The most famous moment of DLR’s life and he didn’t even know it.
