MOJO NIXON - Don Henley Must Die on Random Acts

[@Minnliberal]

R.I.P. Mojo, you did good.

[@hamupinhere]

Don Henley still alive. Truly dark times.

[@mojorider8455]

yes, Mojo gone and yet Henley lives...@@hamupinhere

[@SuperMrHiggins]

@@mojorider8455 adding yet more weight to my suspicion that there is a vast and powerful conspiracy, which seeks to make Henly into messianic like figure to lull the people into complacency. Most people, most people have no idea. Ten years time and we're all gonna be forced to bring Henly x number of newborns with which he shall fuel his undying yet perpetually decaying prison.

[@jayb.5017]

During a visit to Austin, TX to lend his support to a local environmental issue, Don Henley showed he has a sense of humor about himself and those who may mock him.
It all began with a number on roots rock singer-songwriter Mojo Nixon‘s 1990 album, Otis, that is titled “Don Henley Must Die.” It begins with the lines: “He’s a tortured artist/Used to be in the Eagles/Now he whines/Like a wounded beagle/Poet of despair!/Pumped up with hot air!/He’s serious, pretentious/And I just don’t care.”
It turned out that on August 2, 1992*, Nixon was also in the capital of Texas, performing on his 35th birthday with his band the Toadliquors at The Hole in the Wall, a small music club just across the street from the University of Texas campus. Much to his surprise, Henley showed up and jumped onstage, joining in on the chorus: “Don Henley must die, don’t let him get back together with Glenn Frey!”
As Nixon - now a host on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country channel - later recalled, “So I said, ‘Whaddya want? You wanna fight? You wanna debate?’ And he said, ‘I want to sing the song, especially the part about not getting together with Glenn Frey.'” He did, and the crowd went wild. “To quote my drummer, he must’ve had balls bigger than church bells to do that.”

You gave a lot of people lots of joy, Mojo! To this day, any store without Mojo Nixon could use some serious fixin'!

[@iesickboy]

How much you pay for that?
Nothing man, it's stolen.

[@davem9920]

I used a fake ID to see Mojo perform at a small bar in Ames Iowa in 1990 or 1991. I was front row soaking it all. The keyboardist grabbed my jacket and wore it through most of the set. The entire band had nonstop energy. It was a great show…and drinking $2 bottom shelf Long Island iced teas as an 18 year old added to the amazing experience.

[@seththomas9105]

Cy's Roost? Or were you on Main Street? A good friend saw Mojo and Skids at Steb's on the Hill in Cedar Falls about 1986. Lucky bastard, I never got to see ol' Mojo live.

[@shrapnut7612]

RIP Mr. Nixon
This guy gets it, always has. Made me cynical about a few things, and laugh about other thangs.

[@jonathanlax734]

What's left of rock n roll is a lot less fun without Mojo. Welcome to R n R Heaven, Maestro Nixon - try not to burn the place down.

[@radiomindchatter7994]

The world is less funny without Mojo Nixon now...rest in power Mojo.

[@counterfeitselfband]

Mojo was so fun and full of energy. I'm proud we did a recording with him a couple years ago and he left us with some great memories!

[@waggsish]

I played on his SXSW softball team, full of life never a dull moment.

[@translateslowly]

The fact that Mojo is gone and Don Henley is still with us is all the proof you need that there is no god.

[@marktele8061]

Peaceful, easy feeling, Dude?

[@MatthewSmith-fy5hk]

Thats just the stress talkin, dude.

[@calescapee9642]

Went and saw him back in 90 or 91. He hung out with us at our table during the breaks. Great guy.

[@gabbyhyman1246]

The beagles have just announced their 10th last tour. The song is still relevant. 😂

[@frogdog3600]

Sadly Don Henley is still alive and Mojo is gone... There is no God.

I’m no fan of Don Henley but that’s unkind.

Met him once at the Cannery-super nice, super funny and full of life-the real deal just as you would hope.

[@teckertime]

RIP. A San Diego Icon.

[@noahholliday9761]

Why a San Diego icon? He was much farther reaching than that if you grew up in the 80's.

[@douglove2412]

OUTLAWOOOO COUNTRY!!!
Miss you, Mojo!

Never thought much about hating don Henley before, but now I will consider it

[@mikechamberlain9558]

Who's here for the music and also to keep the comments section in check? Where my "if you don't know MOJO Nixon your store could use some fixin" yet?

Mo Nixon is the reason I got Sirius XM outlaw country he was the greatest he made it happen he new his music and always made me laugh 😂 rip brother there won't never be another

[@ChrissyOneMusic]

Goodbye Mojo 😭

[@clintfalk]

Don Henley can now rest easier 😄

[@julietteangeli]

Yes! Thank you for uploading this! I was lucky enough to see him play live a few times when I lived in Dallas back in the day. He always put on a great show.

[@infoscholar5221]

They interviewed him in the same issue of Modern Drunkard Magazine in which they published one of my poems in, itself a paean to alcohol. Back in '06, I think. RIP, brother. We grow thinner on the earth, our kind.

[@scottwebster695]

The good die young. Don Henley is still alive and Mojo Nixon is gone.
RIP

[@jedzxor]

quote of the century right there /\

[@averydaymond1560]

People forget they actually became friendly eventually. I think it was in Austin texas Henley showed up to one of Mojo’s shows and Mojo said wow what are you doing here? Are you wanting to fight? And Henley said no I’d like to sing Don Henley must die with you on stage which they did and Mojo said Don Henley has balls the size of church bells.

[@SeraphinaPZ]

Am I the only person who replays this on a regular basis? I gotta get my Mojo fix.

[@djavidianmx1832]

No Eagles reunion!! That goes for you too Sting 😂😂

Don Henleys case was thrown out today. I laughed. He’s totally insufferable.

[@DanielBrice7f58a6]

greatest song every performed.

[@DonWillis607]

I Loved 'Mojo" But Hated His Politics. Such An Underrated Artist. His Music Reminded Us Not To Be So Serious,Have Fun And Rock Out. Trifecta!

[@rikpontician8499]

Thank you for this. Long Live Mojo.

Mojo, I appreciate your rocking style brother. If your store ain't got Mojo Nixon then it could use some fixin!

[@doughoback5226]

If you don't got Mojo Nixon Then your store could use some fixin'

[@Left_hand_clapping]

Way back when I was in college I got turned on to the Otis album and I played it over and over. For some reason some people don't take artists that inject humor and sarcasm in their music seriously. I thought he was a very unique and talented artist who didn't fully get his due. RIP Neill.

[@johngaller278]

Luckily saw him once... Needless to say I was plowed at the time.

[@jasongeyer2111]

I was thinking this song kinda reminds me of GWAR... then he mentions the name Otis lol. I know what he was saying wasn't connected to the original GWAR singer but it was weird lol

[@ItWasSuddenlyQuiet]

Anybody know anything else about the show itself? "Random Acts"?

[@davidgangemi3314]

And yet,it was Glenn Frey that died. So therefore, MOJO Nixon got his wish before he died that Henley could no longer get back together with him. And yet the bastard still tours with The Eagles and is the only original member left. Even Glenn's son bowed out after one tour. Wonder why?

[@nasticanasta]

Sorry I never got into comedy pop rock.

[@veloboy]

What show was this?

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

I found this at IMDB:
"Short-lived variety show that aired on MTV's HA! The TV Comedy Network. In 1991, HA! merged with HBO's Comedy Channel to form CTV: The Comedy Network, which later became Comedy Central after a lawsuit from Canada's CTV channel. This show featured sketch comedy from the ensemble, musical guests and interviews with host Brian O'Connor."
