Iggy here:

That's the one you got at Burger King a while back... right?

Iggy here:

*sigh* Ok.. in letting you know this, I am going to also reveal my real
name... which, unfortunately, is Rick Martin.  (I say "unfortunately"
because I still receive no end of Ricky Martin jokes, references, and people
mistakenly calling me Ricky rather than Rick...)  Please, no jokes... I've
heard them all a million times... and I don't "shake my bon-bon" for anyone
but my wife.

Ricky Martin is a Puerto Rican salsa and pop singer who was in Menudo when
he was really young.  After that, he ended up starring in a number of
Mexican soap operas, before moving up to staring in American ones.  During
this time, he still sang a lot.  He broke out from the Hispanic music scene
and into a more multi-cultural one with the release of his self named album.

The biggest hits from this album were "Livin' La Vida Loca" and "Shake Your
Bob-Bon."  The album also features the song that was the anthem for one of
the World Cup Soccer series... I forget what year... this song was "Ole
Ole..." IIRC...

He's rather good looking in a boyish sort of way, and there was constant
controversy for a while about what his actual sexual preference was.  As he
keeps his private life strictly private, he refused to confirm or deny any
rumors.


No, I am not a fan, although I do have a CD of his self titled album because
my sister bought it for me one B-day and it's actually not a bad CD.  You
just can't help but learn all this stuff when you share the same #$%*! name.
(And his name, incidentally, is actually Enrique Martin-Morales)
