No Answer

An excerpt from a now deleted blog post from Juliana on her official site in 2008:

Whatever I meant with this song, I really meant *it *. I was very serious. But funny, too, though, don’t you think? Quoting Mae West (“Why don’t you come up and see me sometime”) — that’s funny, right? Why doesn’t anyone think my songs are funny? I do. I just listened to “Get Off Your Knees” and I dissolved in a puddle of giggles. Mike Watt’s bass line alone is good for a huge, song-long grin.

In “No Answer” I reference, yet again, escaping, in my car, with no plan but to just go — “Jump in my car/turn the music on/I’m gonna be gone but I don’t know how long.” People can criticize me for many things; they can make multiple harsh negative judgments about me and my music, but they can’t say that I’m inconsistent. I’ve always written about driving in my car as a way to feel free and to think without any distractions. It’s a theme I have often returned to.
