These are all themed shows. I don’t normally do many themed shows, but 2010 was unique. My friend Todd and I did a Valentine show, which spawned another theme show called “About A Girl” (each song featured a woman’s name in the title), which in turn spawned a great idea for a Bizarroworld Beatles show. We had so much fun with these, we already have some good ideas for next year (like a show about CITY NAMES, and a reverse-gender cover songs show (where a woman covers a song originally sung by a male and vice versa)).
