Don Henley won in the end....

[WOM]

Mojo Nixon, loudmouth rockabilly musician and Outlaw Radio DJ has died at 66.

Probably best known for his collaborations with Skid Roper, Nixon was known for Elvis Is Everywhere, Don Henley Must Die and Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My Two Headed Lovechild.

He was a favourite host of ours on Sirius Radio's Outlaw Country station, and died yesterday on the annual Outlaw Country Cruise after performing a set and having a few drinks.

Crap news.

The guys I cycle with sometimes sing the first verse of "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant..." when we get onto the bike path through Imperial Beach on our ride round the bay on alternate Sundays. I didn't know its provenance until just now.

Aw man, I loved 'Elvis Is Everywhere' back in the day.

I’m gonna miss him announcing Steve Earle as “the Commie folk singer”.

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'"

Aw man, I loved 'Elvis Is Everywhere' back in the day.

Yep, great tune.

RIP the Mojo.

Hah, I pondered making the same reference.

No, we only have it iced.

On one hand, this is sad. On the other hand, if anybody was living life to the fullest, it was Mojo. And as his family said in their statement, popping a clog after playing a show and drinking at the bar would have been the way that he would have wanted to go.

Are you drinkin', with me Jesus/I can't see you very clear
I know you can walk on water/But can you walk on this much beer?

[Hot Pepsi]

No fucking flute players.

‘One case of Budweiser on ice’ is hugely disappointing. I thought that Mojo and his band would be Pabst - or better still, malt liquor/dark beer - kind of dudes.

(As for mixing gin with Mountain Dew, I mean please…)

[Toby Gymshorts]

I'd definitely give gin and 7-Up a go, mind.
