Editing Mojo Nixon (section)

==DJing and other media==
In the late 1990s, Nixon worked as a radio [[disc jockey]] in [[San Diego]] (on [[KGB-FM]]) and [[Cincinnati]] starting his career in 1998 on [[WLW]] before moving to [[WEBN]] .{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}

In 1998, he had a short run as an [[advice column]]ist with "Life Fixin' with Mojo Nixon". Only two columns were authored, and both ran in the short-lived ''Peterbelly Magazine''. That year he was also the honorary captain of the United States [[luge]] team at the [[1998 Winter Olympics]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/olympics1998/sport/luge/articles/usluge13.htm|title=U.S. Wins First Luge Medals|website=Washingtonpost.com|date=February 13, 1998|access-date=April 20, 2020|archive-date=December 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206141155/https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/olympics1998/sport/luge/articles/usluge13.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> In response to this, Nixon invited members of the men's doubles squad to work on a song for the Games: "Luge Team U.S.A.". The song was recorded by Nixon along with members of the Beat Farmers and luger [[Gordon Sheer]] playing drums under the band name The Arctic Evel Knievels.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-feb-12-sp-18417-story.html |title=In the Trash-Talking Luge, U.S. May Finally Clean Up |last=Newhan |first=Ross|author-link=Ross Newhan |date=February 12, 1998|website=[[LATimes.com]] |access-date=February 7, 2019}}</ref>

In 2008, he was hosting three shows on [[Sirius Satellite Radio]]: ''The Loon in the Afternoon'' on [[Outlaw Country (Sirius XM)|Outlaw Country]] (channel 60), the [[NASCAR]]-themed ''Mojo Nixon's Manifold Destiny'' on SIRIUSXM NASCAR Radio (channel 90) and the politically themed ''Lyin' Cocksuckers''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lyincocksuckers.com/|title=Mojo Nixon's Lyin' Cocksuckers – cause that's what politicians are|website=Lyincocksuckers.com|access-date=January 5, 2008|archive-date=January 15, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080115044309/http://www.lyincocksuckers.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> on Raw Dog Comedy (channel 99). In October 2005, Nixon began appearing on the Sirius Howard 100 channel as the "General Manager". On November 8, 2016, Nixon did his final "Lying Cocksuckers" show, saying he would be back next year with another show on RawDog Comedy on Sirius/XM. Nixon hosted a weekday program on [[Steven Van Zandt]]’s [[Outlaw Country]] channel on SiriusXM.

==="Unretired"===
Nixon's first comeback was in 2006 when he came out of retirement in support of [[Kinky Friedman]]'s bid to become [[Governor of Texas]]. As Nixon said at the time, "If supporting Kinky for governor is what it takes to drag my ass out of retirement, consider my ass dragged."

In October 2009, he announced his "unretirement" on his website with the release of his album ''Whiskey Rebellion'', a collection of previously unreleased tracks he claimed he had found in "an old shoe box full of cassette tapes" under his front porch.<ref name="www.journalstar.com">Wolgamott, Kent L.

October 8, 2009</ref> To promote the CD, he announced the temporary free downloads of the CD tracks and several of his solo albums (and albums with Skid Roper) on [[Amazon.com]], along with a tour of several Texas locations. In a press release, he stated,
{{blockquote|Can't wait for Washington to fix the economy. We must take bold action now. If I make the new album free and my entire catalog free it will stimulate the economy. It might even over-stimulate the economy. History has shown than when people listen to my music, money tends to flow to bartenders, race tracks, late night greasy spoons, bail bondsman, go kart tracks, tractor pulls, football games, peep shows and several black market vices. My music causes itches that it usually takes some money to scratch.<ref name="www.journalstar.com" />}}
