Dark Meat

Happy Easter everybody – here comes the Dark Meat Jesus spectacular! (Also, I’m appearing in Jesus Christ Superstar later this month in Simi Valley. Come, and bring peeps for the actors) Not that I NEED an excuse to throw together a show about Jesus. You can’t swing a sponge on a stick without hitting a song about the dude.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I picked this theme because it was easy. Besides, 80′s music is a style all its own and it deserves a show to itself instead of peppering every other selection of a show. What’s the theme? Women in the eighties. Either songs about women, or by women. Whatever. Who doesn’t dig chicks, am I right?

By the way, note that it’s not Sexy Ladies in THEIR Eighties. Betty White only put out so many records.

The free market solves all problems! For example, this week it gave me a theme around which to group my little song music show. If you like it, I’ll do another show next week with exactly the same songs, and keep on playing them until my numbers go down. Then I’ll do something else.
