Only thing I can think of close to an Iggy Pop reference was in the Road Movie concert (somthn' like 1996) where Michael Stipe just shows off his abs during the lines "I don't wanna be Iggy Pop but if that's what it takes"...as for weather he did it or wrote these lines cuz that's one of their similarities remains anyone's guess. Not much of an explanation I know...but hey, thats a start! :)
