Iggy Pop

I forgot to mention it, but when I was travelling back from Syria a couple of weeks back, I had a stop over in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. Since I was fortunate enough to be flying business class, I took the opportunity to wait for my connecting flight (it was delayed about 50 minutes) in the business lounge. While in the lounge I heard some Americans talking while I was trying to use the free internet access computers (took me a while to fathom the French keyboard layout). On my return back to a comfy seat, I spotted one of the Americans that I'd heard... he looked really familiar! I wasn't completely sure, but thought he looked just like Iggy Pop. I don't know a great deal about him and only really know one of his songs (Lust for Life featured in the film Trainspotting), but he's quite distinctive looking.

I noticed that this guy had a very distinctive limp and clearly had one leg shorter than the other (he wore a special heightened sole on the foot of the short leg), so, as I left the business lounge I sent Flo an SMS asking her if Iggy Pop has one leg shorter than the other. She wrote back saying "Computer says "Yes"", which made me chuckle since she was making reference to the British TV programme Little Britain.
