Host Douglas Arthur leads a heartfelt eulogy for rock and roll wild man Mojo Nixon who passed away February 7, 2024 featuring stories and music. Find out why he was a lot more than Elvis is Everywhere. Satirical, political, steeped in the blues and hillbilly music, and maybe just a little bit lewd and crude. Mojo was a true American original. Pour yourself a tumbler and have yourself a gin-guzzlin' frenzy in his honor.
