Since not every well-hung gentleman exposes it on videotape like Tommy Lee, and since we don’t carry around a tape measure backstage, the people to consult on this question are groupies. And trading gossip online, they have reported these musicians are men of great repute: Chris Isaak, Robin Zander (Cheap Trick), Tony Kanal (No Doubt), Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Jon Langford (the Mekons), Phil Anselmo (Pantera), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), John Dolmayan (System of a Down), and especially Huey Lewis. The late Jimi Hendrix, hugely talented in more than one way, was the prize in Cynthia Plaster Caster’s collection of genital molds. And Iggy Pop’s unit is so big it should have its own zip code. (Honorable mention goes to Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath, possibly the only rock star ever to brag about having a small penis.)
