Mojo Nixon career
In San Diego in the early 1980s, Nixon teamed up with Skid Roper. Nixon’s lyrics were primarily supported instrumentally by Roper. Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper, Nixon and Roper’s debut album, was released by Enigma Records in 1985.
That album’s track “Jesus at McDonald’s” served as the duo’s debut single. Nixon and Roper’s best-known song, “Elvis Is Everywhere,” is a deification of Elvis Presley from their third album, Bo-Day-Shus!!! (1987). Nixon later said that Presley, Foghorn Leghorn, and Otis Campbell were his personal theological trifecta.
Producer Sylvia Massy also recorded Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper in San Francisco during these early years at CD Presents for the Rat Music For Rat People compilation album.
In the late 1980s, Nixon and Roper created a number of satirical works that parodied modern-day celebrities, including Rick Astley and Debbie Gibson in “Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child” and Martha Quinn, the MTV VJ, in “Stuffin’ Martha’s Muffin”.
During this time, Nixon made multiple appearances in MTV promotional videos. However, he severed his relationship with the network after it decided not to release the video for “Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant…”
In the meanwhile, Nixon and Roper parodied societal themes and modern American culture in songs like “The Amazing Bigfoot Diet,” “I Hate Banks,” and “Burn Down the Malls.”
Roper and Nixon broke up at the end of 1989. Nixon recorded a solo album titled Otis for Enigma Records the following year.
Enigma Records filed for bankruptcy soon after Otis was released, putting a large portion of Nixon’s early discography in legal limbo. Nixon and the Toadliquors served as his support band for a number of the albums he released on various labels in the 1990s.
Songs like “You Can’t Kill Me,” “Orenthal James (Was a Mighty Bad Man),” and the contentious “Bring Me the Head of David Geffen” were included on these latter albums. However, under pressure from record distributors, the controversial song was eventually only released on a B-side compilation.
“Tie My Pecker to My Leg,” which had lyrics concerning coprophilia, incest, and bestiality, was another of his latter works. Nixon recorded CDs with Jello Biafra (Prairie Home Invasion), Dave Alvin, Buddy “Blue” Seigal, and other Beat Farmers in the mid-1990s (Live in Las Vegas by the Pleasure Barons).
Nixon’s close friend Country Dick Montana of the Beat Farmers, who passed away on stage from a heart attack in 1995, was honored in Nixon’s 1999 album The Real Sock Ray Blue.
In 2004, Nixon announced his retirement from the music industry. On March 20, of the same year, he performed live at the Continental Club in Austin, Texas. Later in life, he would sometimes play special occasions, like the time he supported fellow musician Kinky Friedman’s bid for governor of Texas.
The Mojo Manifesto, a documentary film, was being produced by Freedom Records & Films and was scheduled for release in 2014. The movie made its debut during the 2022 South By Southwest event.
Freestyle Digital Media stated on February 21, 2023, that it has acquired the film’s worldwide rights, planning for a VOD release on March 17 across various platforms.
