"He has been on the cover of the Wall Street Journal, he has appeared nude in magazines, he has been in bad movies, been censored by Hustler magazine, three record companies and MTV, he played every possible music joint where nutjobs congregate in 45 states, he even played in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan and did a three-week tour of Norway," says longtime manager Scott Ambrose "Bullethead" Reilly. "He has suffered death threats; he sang with Don Henley; he has even been an answer on Jeopardy for God's Sake. He was the captain of a US Olympic team and debated Pat Buchanan. For us. He did this all for us."

I don't have any idea who Mojo Nixon is, but he might be right when he says it is time to retire.
"I have nothing more to say," says Nixon. "Not only am I empty, but obviously nobody gives a rat's ass about the things I have been saying for twenty years. The masses are just as blinded by the light of stupidity, prudery and the shiny objects of hate."
I guess he just lost his mojo.
I found this story through The Fat Guy who is callin' me Nutty Terry* since I said I don't like beer. At least, now, he might quit gettin' me confused with Tom. T. Hall.
*Yeah, my name is really Terry. Tiger is my nickname.

I love Mojo Nixon ... it makes me so sad he is not going to be playing anymore. I'm going to try to go to his last Houston concert.
