RIP Mojo Nixon, who passed during the Outlaw Country Cruise on Norwegian Pearl...

[Stockjock]

He died of a cardiac event, and I think the chartered cruise is still at sea.  That certainly puts a dark cloud over the event.

I remember him well, from his days performing here in San Diego.

One of his hits, which apparently Don Henley once sang along with him.  And if you can't tell, Mojo's music had a silly, joking, tongue-in-cheek tilt to it.  But I remember his shows as being a lot of fun.

To quote the Kinks:

 

Part of my childhood died, just died!

I saw him back in the 90s at a little club.  Great show.  Looks like he went out the way he lived.  RIP.

I saw Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper, The Pogues & the Violent Femmes in NYC in the late 80s?  Early 90s?  I actually didn’t see the Violent Femmes which I was a little annoyed about but one of the friends I was with was in a mood so we left.

I was on board when the code alpha went out for a cabin on deck 14... we found out later that it was Mojo 😞
