dunno - unfortunately, it's pretty hard for real fat people, or even people perceived as generally unattractive, to be successful in today's musical environment post-MTV.
Speaking of MTV, I used to tape 120 minutes back in the days when it was decent & I was searching for good new music. My first exposure to the Screaming Trees was in this format - an overlooked gem of a video for the excellent little ditty: Bed of Roses.
I think I've talked myself into putting that record on next. Thanks Rhett for suggesting that I listen to more fat guys.
