Mojo Nixon

Elvis died on my birthday in 1977 when i was 22. I had a skewed perspective on the king 'cos i only really perceived his fat Vegas era persona and the fact that he allowed himself to be managed by a cash obsessed carnival huckster with no feeling for the music.
I've seen the light now though - in his early incarnation he was a fantastic natural performer with a fans ear for quality tunes. Time and circumstances bought him low but he kick started a movement that couldn't be stopped and for that i salute him ....and so does Mojo Nixon!
