Janeway is a young man who began wailing straight out of the womb, and most folks would agree that he hasnโt stopped since. โOh what a set of lungs that child has,โ theyโd say, โhe must be destined for something special.โ Not wishing to disappoint, and being a good southern boy, Paul began singing in church, stretching his vocal cords with an eye toward becoming a man of the cloth.
The cloth, however, didnโt appreciate young Paulโs affinity for dirty jokes, Prince, and Tom Waits, and he was inclined to search elsewhere for co-conspirators. He began plying his trade with whomever would have him. With a wholly re-imagined take on the sounds heโd grown up singing and seeking, Paul recruited a rag-tag band of like-minded weirdoes, visionaries, and hacks to help him harness the power he now knew he possessed. Under the nom du guerre St. Paul and the Broken Bones, the motley crew roams the countryside looking to get cabooses shakinโ, faces meltinโ, and brothers and sisters everywhere testifyinโ
