You are absolutely right that some people might be offended by the term fat and for the exact reasons you stated...
There is no better word than FAT for this song and it's a shame that too many people will miss the point because of that word. It's even more of a shame that the decision makers in country music seem to have no guts and would probably never put this on country radio.</font>


I wrote a song to tackle about being fat. I wrote the song about a bar that's a meat market. All kinds of people there. Including a fat girl who hits on me. And I say "fat girl." On purpose. In the song, I am not interested in her but I become interested in her as the evening progresses due to her personality. It was attempt to use a volatile moniker, "fat girl," and make it work in song. I dunno if it did but I like it.

As for country radio, odds are about a billion to one it would get there anyway, even if it's a masterpiece, so, don't worry about it. Second, Lyle Lovett would do something like this. Of course, he's not played on country radio, so, that proves they don't know what the hell they are doing. The guy is brilliant.
