In January 2008, I witnessed the one and only Paul Mooney dropping wisdom on some poor unsuspecting and unprepared souls for two solid hours at Caroline's in NYC. Relentless. Hilarious. Educational. Genius. Truth. Rest in power. @onemoonmanystars

ABOUT THE ALBUM. Most of the songs on “You Won’t Like the Answer” were written and recorded in January and February of 2021 because the sadness of 2020 just won’t quit. Can’t stop crying but I’mma keep on grinding even though I still ain’t going anywhere. Like Black Sisyphus. And so it goes. Stay safe and be well, y’all.

CREDITS. All songs copyright 2021 Bryan Paul Thomas except: “She Screams in Metaphor” (c 1997) and “Ain’t Going Anywhere” (c 2020), which contains a verse of “Both Sides Now” by Joni Mitchell. Guitars and keys and vox and stuff performed by Buggy Jive. All beats courtesy TheLoopLoft.com are samples of bad ass drummers, including Nate Smith (tracks 1, 8), Matt Chamberlin (tracks 2, 5) and Omar Hakim (track 11). Mastered by Troy Pohl. The music video for “Ain’t Going Anywhere” was directed by Jean-Luc and produced by Jennifer, with animation by Hank Russo. Cover art by Hank Russo based on “Hell, Canto III” by William Blake from his illustrations of Dante Alighieri’s Divina Commedia cuz Buggy Jive is pretentious AF.

"Rousseau walks on trumpet paths. Safaris to the heart of all that jazz." Here's a taste of "The Jungle Line" from last weekend's Virtual JoniFest -- with, ahem, a little extra b-roll and a Paz @jmichaelpaz cameo for good measure. Full video is coming soon. (And maybe, I dunno, an EP of new music or something?)

Until then... the usual sadness. Uninterrupted.
