This week's episode of "Hunkered In The Bunker" finds Dan answering the call of "The God show was great but where the Sam Hill is the Goddess show???" Well, here it is and this show is phenominal and loaded with treats. Starting with a "long note" warm up segment where we learn about Bernsteinn's penchant for holding a note so long that he passes out and yet still manages to continue playing in a trance-like state (I wanna see One Direction do that). The Goddesses are on full display tonight as we are treated to songs by the likes of Elizabeth Cotten, Ani Difranco, Orit Shimoni, Dar Williams and Tegan & Sara while also being treated to songs celebrating Venus & Serena, not to mention readings by Mother Theresa, Laura Chagnon and Ruth Kruger. At a certain point a couple hours in he starts to wrap up and in true Bernsteinn fashion, he rolls on for another hour or so. So, in that "encore" period we get a great run of classics like "22nd Street", "City", "Everybody's Baby" and "Chelse Hotel". We also start to see the disenchantment with Larry blossom and yet Dan still tries to help him with his crossword puzzle. Heady times indeed. Also not to be missed is a killer version of Andrew Calhoun's epic, year-in-a-day type song "Roads in Disrepair" sandwiched between classics "When I'm Gone"(Phil Ochs) and "Thunder Road"(BRUUUUCE) as well as a reimagining of "Piano Man" for the harmonica leaning heroes. So all hail the universe's Goddesses and as always...stay hunkered
