7 February 2024 (Special Edition) - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper - Elvis Is Everywhere

I'm not OK with two of these in two days.  

I'm really not OK with this one. I grew up listening to Mojo.  It all started with an EP I bought in the mid-1980s... before the rest of the world got to hear him on MTV and he was singing about how MTV should be covered in ejaculate.

"Stuffin' Martha's Muffin".  It was real.

The name known at birth as Neill Kirby McMillan Jr. has passed away.  He died doing what he loved - performing - on the Outlaw Country Cruise, an annual music cruise he played and hosted.  He played a show LAST NIGHT (after playing one the afternoon before) and was partying until the wee hours.

He is literally playing guitar in the lower right photo in this tweet, last night.

Mojo was obsessed with gonads and making dirty songs about tying his pecker to his leg.... and his sideburns.... and pop culture in general.  This song skewered the widely-held belief that Elvis Presley was still alive, and using that as an explanation for everything that happened. 

Bermuda Triangle?  Elvis needs boats.

With his longtime collaborator, Skid Roper, here is Mojo performing his best known song.

This song actually brought the fringe duo some fame, with them even able to play this song on late night network television.

We miss you, Mojo.  SUPER sorry to see you gone.
