R.I.P. Mojo Nixon

Forums:

Went out on the Outlaw Cruise from a cardiac event at age 66, after delivering a show and having one last party the night before.  A little reminiscent of Col. Bruce Hampton's swan song a few years ago.  
 

Mojo & Skid Roper helped keep things real during the over-synthed 80's.  I enjoyed their irreverence and twangy hopped up Rockabilly-infused tunes with many a cold beer and a bong-hit.

I remember he was a guest "VJ" on MTV in the early 80's.  Left the network after they refused to play his video for "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child" 

Glad he didn't suffer and had a party on his way out. I enjoyed his stuff and his sense of humor. "Elvis Is Everywhere!" 

the loon in the afternoon.

later man.

his family released a nice statement. he did it his way. RIP

I LOOOOOOOVE Country!!!

RIP. You will be missed.

It's a misheard lyric for me, but I always heard "Elvis eats boats," not "Elvis needs boats," and I still like my version better. 

RIP Mojo Nixon.

I always heard his lyric for Mr. Correct (Don't Tell Me What To Do) as Mr. Koresh.
