Hi Janice and Bud, Wao, Marty, Scott, Dave and Bob,

Great to read your nice posts on the song! I knew this song was not becoming a hit, therefore it is a bit too controversial, or as Wao wrote: "irreverent".
That's why I appreciate your responses all the more.

The band, vocals and Marty’s bass sound excellent.
The mix is nice and snappy … sounds great on the monitors.

The video is entertaining but most of the food should be served with a side of blood thinning sauce. smile
Well done y’all!
J&B

Hi J&B, I was working on a song this morning, and listen back to Fat Guy. Indeed the sound was better than the one I was working on. So you're right.
Changed the new one immediatly, of course.
And you're also right on the problem I sang about. Or better, we're both right. But does it do any good?
I think the government should increase taxes on food companies, but in your country that would be too controversial.
In my country they are thinking about it because the costs of health care are rising enormously.
This means that the costs for our society are getting (too) high.
But thanks a lot for your very nice comment!

Hi Wao, Thanks for this very nice comment! I was wondering if the lyrics are really 'irreverent'. I think I was too modest, don't you?

Yet what I hear correct about it is how corporations only care about profit lines while convincing their customers that they're making fast food for their benefit. There is not enough money in healthy fast foods, I guess. Still, you ended the song where the fat guy finally accepts who he is, which is the best attitude one can adopt.

Hi Marty, that's a very nice comment and also very true. And at the same time it;s you playing the 'fat' bass... ;-)
I enjoy playing with you. This time we won't score a hit with this song, but one day, Marty... One day!

Hi Scott, Nice to read your comment. I'm sure Marty will be glad too! Thanks!!!

Hello Dave, thanks for this nice comment. You nearly sounds lie Scott. I'm glad you did. And about Marty: you're so right. That's why we both ask him to play on our songs...

Hi Bob, thanks a lot! I don't think you'll be offended by this song, looking at your picture ;-)

Have a nice day, everyone!
