    I got to see him play about twenty years ago in a local bar. He sat at the bar before the concert, drank beer, and hung out with the patrons. He was a genuinely nice guy. That was absolutely one the best concerts I've ever seen and that says a lot. At the end, for his encore he was asking the crowd what they wanted to hear. I screamed his name, he looked at me, I yelled Beer Ain't Drinking. He pointed at me and then proceeded to play it. It was awesome. It wasn't until the next morning when I woke up extremely hungover, deaf, and feeling like a sack full of dirty assholes that I realized that I had never asked for an autograph. LMAO!!! At least I still have the memory.

      I lived in San Diego in the late 80's when Mojo, Skid and Beat Farmers would play all the time. I agree, he was absolutely approachable, friendly, grateful to every fan for coming out and watching his circus. What you see is what you got.

    Man am I going to miss him. I'm 51 years old and I just started listening to country and the only country I like is outlaw type of country. Started listening to him about 3 years ago. What a personality. Id look forward to his show and goofy thoughts. Tearing up cuz I'll miss him. Crazy to think that about someone dony even know. Mojo was funny. Didn't give a F and just loved that about him. I'll miss him

    The funniest part is being French freshly landed in the USA, renting a car from Hertz and leaving with the windows down; turn on the radio with UFO BIG RIGS & BBQ, everyone looks at you with a weird look accompanied by a few welcome smiles.
    Mojo is one of my favorite artists =).
    Music is borderless and it can bring people together, not to listen to in moderation, quite the contrary.

    songs notwithstanding, his best line ever was on Siriuxm one day. Venus williams and all the Wimbledon drama was going on. Can't remember the exact story but it dominated the news for weeks. SO one day on Outlaw County - following one of those Sirius ads, promoting the sports channels and especially Wimbledon. mojo immediately signs on and says; "Hey friends, this is Mojo Nixon and i dont give a FUCK about womens tennis!" then he immediately plays a song.
    it was funny as hell. ballsy at the time.
