[Genius in Maine]

can a connection even be made between al and harper simpson? i don't think you should stump us, because look at how long it took me to come up with a link for the last person. keep it simple

Harper Simon's father is Paul Simon, who Al parodied with "Hit Me With A Rock."

(Also, Harper and Paul both performed on the Carl Perkins album "Go Cat Go.")

OK, Serge, you want an easy one? How about....... Eric Idle?

as for eric idle, i'm taking a less obvious route

eric idle was in the film "the rutles in all you need is cash" which also had george harrison and mick jagger in it.
al parodied george harrison on 2 occasions, and polka'ed the rolling stones on several occasions
