I think we all got the shocking news that Mojo Nixon passed away on the Outlaw Country Cruise yesterday. I don’t have any personal anecdotes to add- I met him twice to ask permission to video, and he was very kind. Condolences to his family and friends- it sounds like he was on the cruise with his wife and family.
I had already mentioned in past posts/comments that the Mojo and Skid show from cattle club was the drunkest I had ever been videotaping a show- what a party! It seemed like the party always followed Mojo’s personality. You can find Jim McLain’s 2 camera edit of that show- my & Jerry Perry’s camera angles and possibly anonymous’ audio- on the archive. I will post that link to FB as well, or you can easily search it out.
This was the last time I saw Mojo- shortly after Mojo and Skid had parted ways, he recorded 1 solo album and then formed to Toadliquors and started touring as a full band. Excellent, high energy show. It drew a pretty decent crowd as well. I am a bit bummed about the audio- that sony mic that I velcro’d to the top usually sounded better than this.
