A Christmas present to ourselves and a curiosity have led me to invent a new game -- Six Degrees of Mary Lucia.
The 4th Season of Rescue Me -- my wife and I are big fans -- was tucked in between the doors this morning. It must've come yesterday. So we watched the first episode which ended with the song, "Backseat Nothing."
"Who does that?" I asked my wife. "It sounds very Elvis Costelloey."
She didn't know so I logged on and did some research and found it was the Del Fuegos, a Boston-area band in the '80s. Dennis Leary, the Emerson College grad (as am I) is from the area.
Anyway, the description said the Del Fuegos were an up-and-coming alternative band that had garned some celebrity support including Tom Petty and the Replacements.
The Replacements were fronted by Paul Westerberg. Paul Westerberg is the brother of -- wait for it -- Mary Lucia (on whose show I do waht can loosely be called the news in the afternoons).
So to recap
Christmas Day ==> Rescue Me ==> Del Fuegos ==>Replacements ==>Paul Westerberg ==> Mary Lucia.
This game is going places, I tell you.

Let's see: I interviewed Pete Jesperson on my old KSTP-AM show. He was the manager that put the 'mats on the map.
Me > Jesperson > Westerberg > Lucia.
Alternate:
I met Bob Stinson many times. Every single time, he asked if I had any cocaine on me.
Me > Stinson > Westerberg > Lucia.
Three degrees, twice.
Oh, I was a huge Del Fuegos fan back in the day. Off to ITunes I go.
