Day 22: Fat Tuesday

Mardi Gras!!!! Happy Fat Tuesday everybody! In honor of the start of carnival season I've put together a list of fat musicians. I'm sure there are many missing, but I think I put together a nice sampling of husky artists. And the thing is, there are a lot of artists who got fat after their prime, which doesn't really count as being fat. Even the best of us may pack on some pounds later in life (Van Morrison, Johnny Cash...). Conversely, some artists were big and got small, like John Popper. But people still remember these people as fat, so I count them as fat. Also, some artists have deceptive names. Like "Fat Mike" from NOFX. And Chubby Checker. A little overweight, yeah, but fat? Hardly. Big Pun (RIP). That's fat.
