THE INCOMPARABLE MOJO NIXON (furious.com)

On February 7, 2024, Mojo Nixon died of a heart attack in his sleep aboard the Outlaw Country Cruise, an annual cruise sponsored by SiriusXM. Mojo had been a longtime DJ on the channel and a longtime champion of outlaw country. He had played his final show the night before and by all accounts, it was your average Mojo show- wild, raucous and totally in character for how he carried on throughout his long career. It was a shock to those who followed him on social media and still listened to his music. Just wanted to take some space to talk about the man and his legacy.

R.I.P. Mojo. You were bodacious and will be missed.

Oh no! This is terrible news. Even though I’ve never thought Michael J Fox was the anti-Elvis. Prairie Home Invasion is one of my favourite albums.

I’m gonna raise a toast, with Jesus.
