Love this! Hilarious that he busted out some yoga in the middle of a crowded airport. I met Iggy Pop when I was a kid in Haiti. My grandma ran a beach hotel there and she welcomed Iggy after he'd been thrown out of his other hotel for drunk and disorderly conduct. Grandma liked to get her drink on too, so she wasn't going to judge. My dad spotted him and invited him over to our table. I had no idea who he was, but he joined us and regaled us with funny stories. I remember him telling us that he was so freaked out by the movie, Psycho, he didn't shower for months. He also talked about writing the song, "China Girl" and sort of lamented the fact that Bowie had made it a hit. Another night, the phone rang in the bar. My grandma answered it and yelled, "There's a call for Charlie Brown." Iggy Pop got up from his table and took the call. Sweet memories.
