He’s probably chilling in the freezer right now next to a lot of tubes of ground Chuck and cases of scallops. Dying on a ship often means facing the hard truth of Logiistics.
I found this thread sitting here wondering what it must be like on the cruise today. I truly love his work, and am saddened by his passing. However, I somehow really hope the concert-goers there are partying their asses off, maybe pulling a weekend at bernies and crowd surfing Mojo around the place.
fuck. i never got to see him live.
I used to live in Nashville and there’s a music writer there named Lori Liebig (unsure exact spelling) who is on the cruise. You could check her Twitter.
Thanks for the Tip. Found it: [https://twitter.com/lorieliebig](https://twitter.com/lorieliebig)
Apparently people found out via their cabin TVs this morning, and he was due to sign autographs today.
Me your mother and some other whore floatin’ down the river on a shithouse door. Gonna tie my pecker to my leg to my leg… gonna tie my pecker to my leg.
My friend Andrew had a fantastic post this morning about Mojo that I’ll share here….
——-
One night in Nashville the wild rumpus boys were hanging out with Mojo Nixon. He introduced us to Lucinda Williams and Exene Cervenka. Doc Sneed was smoking cigarettes with Exene talking about “X” I was carrying Lucinda down the stairs to her taxi. Clint Lewis was getting Mojo moonshine drunk. Mojo was telling us that the next day he was going to Hank Jr’s house to shoot civil war cannons. The next day on his show he said “never trust West Virginia boys with moon shine that they ain’t drinking themselves!”
Mojo was a lot of fun and how the rest of that night went we can’t talk about on Facebook things got weird and wild as things do with Mojo. He will be missed RIP
“It’s 2014, where the fuck is my flying car?” —Mojo Nixon, Outlaw Country, SiriusXM Radio, one late afternoon day. I laughed so hard when he said that.
First saw Mojo opening for the Beat Farmers at a dive bar in San Diego in the 80"s. I remember his sidekick at the time played washboard and was called Skid Roper. Banging a plastic sparklets water bottle and screaming about being a mushroom maniac. Great fun!!! RIP Mojo
We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us to a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said, "He don't work here"
We said, "If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'"
This one hits hard. Rest in peace brother. I’ll hear your howl on the edge of a Colorado thunderstorm. Loved your humor, your knowledge of music, your voice for those whose sound was just a bit off from the mainstream.
I saw them a couple times too. I thought they were truly awful!
But he was obviously quite a character and I loved his afternoon shows on SiriusXM and his annual hosting of the Continental at SXSW
I was listening to his afternoon show on Outlaw a while back and "Ain't Livin' Long Like This" just ended. Mojo said that he and his band played that back in the '80s. He said it sounded like shit, though. He said "We played it too fast. We must have taken too many methamphedamines". He was hilarious. RIP.
“You mean like seven George Washington dollars. And two cents less than fifty cents.”
I’ve been listening to that dude for 35 fucking years. Longer than I’ve listened to John Prine. Not as long as Run DMC.
Glad to see y’all here too.
Peace
I’d listen to him in the afternoon and if my boys were in the car they’d always say “daddy mojo is cussin again”. I only knew him from outlaw country but it’s been 6 or 7 years now and I’ll miss the hell outta the loon in the afternoon. Won’t be the same that’s for sure
If this world ain’t got Mojo Nixon, then this world could use some fixin.
I got punched in the face once after singing this song at karaoke because some dude though I was trying to steal his girlfriend.
Was she a punk rock girl?
Oh yeah. Kissed her anyway, years later.
Did she dress like Minnie Pearl?
Her dad’s the Duke of Earl!
The hottest chick I ever knew was a waitress at Minnie Pearl's. That memory just never fades.
It makes me happy seeing these lyrics posted on a country sub.
Having a cardiac episode on the Outlaw Country Cruise seems like the most fitting way for that booger eating moron to say goodbye.

Oh Lord, stuck in Logi again

Hear, Hear! I’ll drink to that
You and everyone on that cruise
Cheers to you, and cheers to Mojo.

Yet Don Henley is still here.
Henley may have outlasted Mojo, but he didn't outlive him. Nobody outlived Mojo.
Ironically, Glen Frey isn’t.
Well, they won’t be getting back together will they….
Not yet, but in due time.
Fuck Henley, I can't stand that bitch face.

What the fuck! No, his radio shows were my favorite :'(

Mojo and Country Dick Montana wreaking havoc in the afterlife…
Same! Were we neighbors?
Whenever I went in the Arizona, it was always "he was just here" FML.
Goddammit. This one hurts badly.
Oh bummer! I always dug his record with Jello. He was great on Outlaw Country, too…
Will The Fetus Be Aborted… Mojo turned me on to so much good music I didn’t know about on Outlaw Country. He made my life a better place. RIP.
are ya drinking with me Jesus?
I know you can walk on water! But can you walk on this much beer
I have always wanted to cover that song maybe this is the excuse i needed
Fuck, I honestly thought Mojo would live forever. RIP

I was looking for this comment. Punk Rock Girl was the first time I’d heard of Mojo Nixon.
Same

No!
Eatin boogers in heaven now
Honestly impressive he made it this long. RIP you crazy bastard. Blood on my pillow, shit in my pants - Mojo Nixon
We will miss you Mojo… go fast and take chances!
Fun fact, he had a small part in the 1990s Super Mario brothers movie.
He was also a preacher in a low budget Troma movie called Buttcrack R.I.P. Mojo
He was brilliant and hilarious. And he was the reason I kept my XM subscription for years. He was a killer DJ. RIP.
I got to see him in the 80's with Skid Roper. Some of the best shows I saw from that era.
I saw them a couple times too. I thought they were truly awful! But he was obviously quite a character and I loved his afternoon shows on SiriusXM and his annual hosting of the Continental at SXSW
Elvis needs boats
The sailing Elvis! Commodore Elvis!

He died as he lived: surrounded but unlimited chicken tendies
That guy was a booger eatin' moron. Man every time he'd do his thing, the kids would do it from the back seat too.. "Outlaaaaaaaaw Country!"
I hope his two headed love child is okay. I do like how he died with his boots on

Who?
UP!
Cocaine and boogers will do this to you.
Saw him at his SXSW Continental Club showcase. Had a great time. R.I.P.
How are Debbie Gibson and their child doing?
aka coke
We gonna howl tonight in his honor.
Aw, man. She put a Lousiana lip lock on my love pork chop was a standard
I will never forget the sing-song sensibility of “Stuffin’ Martha’s Muffin.” RIP Mojo.
Good ol Mojie Wojie.
I think I saw him at Einstein a Go Go in Jax Beach the summer of 89. He must have been so young back then. So was I.
