Mic drop: The 2024 RIP thread for musicians

The Carrot Top of the music world. I do like this song, though ...

 

MTV made that guy king of the world for about ten minutes in 1987.

RIP.

 

Damn. Another one barely a year older than me.

 

If you don’t got Mojo Nixon, your store could use some fixing.

 

Then the Dead Milkmen gave him another five in 1989.

 

We no longer have Mojo Nixon
Man, our world could use some fixin’

RIP

 

Interviewed him once when he came through Toronto at the height of his "fame". Hilarious guy, probably the most memorable interview I have done. Though the recent pics I had seen made it look like he had eaten his partner at the time, Skid Roper.

@PCLoadLetter Quality cover here:

 

The first Mojo Nixon song I ever heard, and possibly his best. It's more a protest song than a rocker.

 

Saw them open for Bob Dylan when I was in college (Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, 1989). Their set was a lot better than his (his setlist was great -- his performance was awful)

 

After Jim Walewander and the Dead Milkmen gave each other their respective 5 in 1987...

 

“A cardiac event on the Outlaw Country Cruise” is a song all its own.

 

I've always thought Bob Dylan is awful, anyway.
Wrote some great songs, but he can't sing worth shit.


YMMV. Tell us why, though?
