www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/30/AR2008053000027.htmlHey, Isn't That . . . ? · Simon Le Bon and band mate Roger Taylor disappearing into a big white van outside the Four Seasons Wednesday. The frosted-hair frontman of Duran Duran (who played Merriweather Tuesday) wore cream-colored parachute capri pants and big, white wraparound shades. A fan ran up saying, "I think you're great! I've loved you forever!" Le Bon rolled down the window and gave her the back-atcha-babe! point but actually looked kind of annoyed and failed to fall in love with her like in her seventh-grade dreams. Also, he was shorter than she expected.

Hey, @ least he ACKNOWLEDGED her! He has been known to just run off and ignore people. And I want to see these pants.

The first time I glanced at this article and the way it was worded, I thought it was trying to say that Simon was playing some character named Merriweather Tuesday in a video or something! I thought, "Wait, Simon's acting again? Who's Merriweather Tuesday??"
;D

6 foot 2 is shorter than she expected? Exactly what I thought! Silly girl - what the hell was she expecting, Simon to be Kobe Bryant's height or something?

I think that comment is the writer's own attempt at humor, and not actually what the girl thought. That was my impression.

then the question is, is he really 6'2" or does he lie about his height. a lot of guys do. i am 6'2" and i can't tell you how many times i have stood next to a guy who was obviously shorter than me, asking if i am 6'5". that is my brother in law's height and trust me, i feel like a midget when i stand next to him. so, maybe simon is really only 6 feet?

That just makes me want to stand my 6'4" husband up next to Simon and compare. But seeing as I'm only 5'9", anything over 6 feet would be fine with me!
