If my understanding of the thing is correct, that means that you are in fact the most famous person in the world. For which, congratulations are very much in order. 8)

I read "according to ridiculous tool" in the header and assumed you were talking about a journalist. :oops:

Peter Frampton's overall obscurity level is...
57.3%

Do you...you, feel like I do?

Off topic, there's a video of Bowie and Frampton walking around Spain looking for a beer that is the worst thing on youtube. :wink:

Billy Idol is less obscure than Howard Jones who's less obscure than Frampton.

But then, combining "The Pogues" and "Pogues" you get another score entirely, yeah? Somewhere in the 60 percentile maybe?

So, ridiculous indeed.

Remarkably, David Bowie (15%) is less obscure than Elvis Presley (25%). As the guys say in Spinal Tap, as they pay tribute at the King's grave, "too much fucking perspective"
