['Gwen Raffo', 'Lorenzo Mameli', 'Diane Welte']
Comments for The Athenaeum
While obscure to many, late musician DJ Mojo Nixon stood as an iconic part of fringe music movements and subcultures.
Born Neill Kirby McMillan Jr., he developed his musical persona, Mojo Nixon in the early 1980s as he began to play with Skid Roper.
These three shows covered the three bases of his interests, outlaw country music, NASCAR, and politics.
It was this wave of censorship controversy that Mojo Nixon found himself advocating in.
Mojo Nixon passed away on February 7th after performing with his band, The Toadliquors, on the annual Outlaw Country Cruise of which Nixon was a regular performer and host.
