Savages, Bacons merge to form "Savage-Bacon Brothers" - [01/13/03]
Last night Ben and Fred Savage, long known for their sitcom acting talent, and Kevin and Mike Bacon, known for their musical bravado, have merged to form the "Savage-Bacon Brothers." Kevin says, "We want to reach out to the fans of shows like Working and Boy Meets World, and Fred and Bed likewise saw opportunity in our emerging fanbase." Kevin is known for roles in movies like Quicksilver and Hollow Man. The merger, however, will not include Kevin's film career. The actor reportedly needs no help in this department, already aided by the popular "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game.
Kevin and Mike are expected to make a surprise walk-in appearance on Fred's new made-for-TV movie "Life in Skokely." Ben's new album"The Noble Savage", slated for release in February, is already being hyped by the powerful Bacon Brothers media machine.
Some fans feel alienated. "I wouldn't be caught dead listening to fucking 'Can't Complain'," cites long time Wonder Years fan Ken Paisley. Most business analysts agree that the merger will create more fans than it loses. Some pop culture critics feel, however, that it will only blur each pairs dynamic talents.
