R.I.P. Mojo Nixon

[dmbrocker]

He's hanging out with Elvis and Debbie Gibson's two-headed lovechild in the afterlife now. At least our Mojo is still alive:

Oh no, not Mojo! Saw him a few times, and back in the old days with Skid Roper. Always a fun show! RIP

For a worrying split second thought it was our mojo and one of those damn prisoners had finally got to him.

Yeah, the last sentence of my post was meant to clear up any confusion that the title might have caused.

Don Henley wins.

Only know him as a DJ on Outlaw Country. Didn't listen much to his show/banter but his call of "Outlaaaaaaw Country!" before each song was unique.

I love the album he made with Jello Biafra.

During a visit to Austin, TX to lend his support to a local environmental issue, Don Henley showed he has a sense of humor about himself and those who may mock him.

It all began with a number on roots rock singer-songwriter Mojo Nixon‘s 1990 album, Otis, that is titled “Don Henley Must Die.” It begins with the lines: “He’s a tortured artist/Used to be in the Eagles/Now he whines/Like a wounded beagle/Poet of despair!/Pumped up with hot air!/He’s serious, pretentious/And I just don’t care.”

It turned out that on August 2, 1992*, Nixon was also in the capital of Texas, performing on his 35th birthday with his band the Toadliquors at The Hole in the Wall, a small music club just across the street from the University of Texas campus. Much to his surprise, Henley showed up and jumped onstage, joining in on the chorus: “Don Henley must die, don’t let him get back together with Glenn Frey!”


As Nixon, a longtime host on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country channel, later recalled, “So I said, ‘Whaddya want? You wanna fight? You wanna debate?’ And he said, ‘I want to sing the song, especially the part about not getting together with Glenn Frey.'” He did, and the crowd went wild. “To quote my drummer, he must’ve had balls bigger than church bells to do that.”

If your cemetery ain't got Mojo Nixon, then it could use some fixin'.
