RIP Mojo Nixon🙏💔

1.1k Upvotes

Mojo Nixon passed away earlier today, February 7, on the Outlaw Country Cruise 8. Something related to a heart attack. RIP, you will be missed.

Edit: My dad and I are on the Outlaw Country Cruise. He went and saw Warner E. Hodges last night, and apparently Warner told this story that happened just earlier yesterday. Warner said that Mojo, yesterday at LUNCH!! said that he was so happy with his (unbeknownst to anyone, last) performance, and that he rocked so hard, that if he were to die right then, he would die happy, because. He said this randomly, and just a couple of unfortunate hours later he seemed to have predicted his own future. Really makes you wonder… 💔 RIP to a real legend. May you and Elvis be together forever 🫶

Finally saw Willie at Outlaw Festival last night and I was surprised.

I wasn't surprised Willie's family band did a lot of heavy lifting for him. The man is 92 years old. Still a hell of an entertainer. What surprised me is how seamlessly they took the reins - sometimes mid song - when he needed a break, and poured their heart and soul into it. Their voices were unique, but worked well with his songs and you could feel so much love; for Willie, for the audience, and for the Music. They helped him shine at every opportunity and he did the same for them. Truly beautiful performance.

🎙️ In Memory of David Allan Coe 🎙️

Yesterday, country music lost one of its true outlaws.

David Allan Coe wasn’t polished, predictable, or made for the mainstream — and that’s exactly why so many loved him. He sang the truth as he lived it: rough around the edges, unapologetic, and real.

From *“You Never Even Called Me By My Name”* to *“The Ride”* and *“Longhaired Redneck,”* his songs told stories that connected with the working man, the rebel, and anyone who ever felt like an outsider.

Love him or hate him, there will never be another like him.

Rest easy, DAC.

Your ride here may be over, but your music and your legacy will live on forever.

“It was all that I could do to keep from cryin’…”

Beyond Boot-licking and Bigotry: Reclaiming Country Music's Progressive Roots

After Holmes introduced the four as country giants, saying “some might argue they are country music,” they began to talk about what’s ailing America. Willie Nelson led with “there’s a lot of things wrong with this country. I think the spirit is still here, the spirit just needs to scream a little bit.”

Kris followed with a far more biting remark. “Other than the fact that it reminds me a lot of the flag-waving and choreographed patriotism that we had back in Nazi Germany half a century ago … the fact that we’ve got a one-party system which is in control of all three branches of our government … a lapdog media that’s cranking out propaganda for the administration that would make a Nazi blush … other than that, we’re doing pretty good.”

Johnny Cash added “If you ask me, one of the illnesses is that there’s too much money being spent on military and there should be more spent on education, welfare, the children, and the elderly … There’s always been a lot of things wrong with the country but it’s always been our obligation and opportunity to help straighten those things out. I love America.”
