  external: Kevin Bacon Sweatshop!? Nov 14, 2007 (Score: 6)
  

Kevin Bacon participated in the July 7, 2007 Live Earth concert in New York (actually held in New Jersey); he introduced Melissa Etheridge. (edit) On April 22, 2007, the Bacon Brothers played at Carnegie Hall as part of a tribute concert honoring Bruce Springsteen. They played Springsteen's Oscar-winning song Streets of Philadelphia. (edit) He didn't enjoy wearing the pressurized space suit for his role as astronaut Jack Swigert in Apollo 13 because it was very heavy and made him sleepy. He also got claustrophobic the first time they put the helmet on him. (edit) There are two films with songs by the Bacon Brothers on the soundtrack: "When You Decide You've Stayed Too Long" from 2003's Red Betsy and "Chop Wood (Carry Water)" from 2005's The Woodsman, which Kevin produced and starred in. Kevin also co-wrote the song "Medium Rare" for his 1997 film Telling Lies in America. (edit) Kevin spent some time locked in a jail cell in 1994, but it wasn't because of any legal problems. He was playing an Alcatraz inmate for the movie Murder In The First and the producers wanted the actors to know what being imprisoned felt like. (edit)

Kevin Bacon: I joke that my epitaph will be, 'No Oscars, but at least he had a game named after him.' (edit) (about the Six Degrees game)
Kevin Bacon: I thought it was definitely going to go the way of eight-track cassettes and pet rocks. But it's a concept that has sort of hung around in the Zeitgeist. (edit) Kevin Bacon: I worked with kids quite a bit in kind of rough situations, between Sleepers and The River Wild. Just I’ve been in situations that have been kind of difficult for kids, and what I like to do is make it as clear as possible to them that I am not that guy, and they are not that person. That we are actors and we’re going to pretend together. That we are going to be colleagues and roll up our sleeves and act off of each other. (edit) (about filming Apollo 13 in a NASA flight simulator)
Kevin Bacon: I don't know if you've ever been in a plane that's diving toward the earth, on purpose. But you know, it's a strange thing to want to go and do over 600 times. (edit) (about his brief nude scene in "Wild Things")
Kevin Bacon: I have a "no full frontal nudity" clause in my contract, and I was a producer on the movie, so in theory I could have sued myself. (edit)
