Mojo Nixon, the unapologetically brash musician, actor, and radio DJ, died of “a cardiac event” on Wednesday, Feb. 7, his family confirmed to Rolling Stone. He was 66. Nixon was aboard the Outlaw Country Cruise, an annual music cruise where he was a co-host and regular performer.

“August 2, 1957 — February 7, 2024 Mojo Nixon. How you live is how you should die.

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’”

-The Dead Milkmen (Punk Rock Girl)

His ode to Martha Quinn was good.

Mojo was a cool dude. He loved to get out there and play to best dives in every town. Shared a few drinks and BS with him a couple times.

He owes a lot to the Dead Milkmen for helping him sell a few albums and sell out shows.

Does this mean a third country star should be dying soon?

Ray Wylie Hubbard has fourth billing on that cruise.

Saw him January 26th in Bertram, TX at The Globe Theater. Good show. Last year at Gruen Hall, an excellent show.
