'''Neill Kirby McMillan Jr.''' (August 2, 1957 – February 7, 2024), known professionally as '''Mojo Nixon''', was an American musician and actor best known for his [[novelty song]] "Elvis Is Everywhere", which was an [[Alternative rock|alternative]] staple on [[120 Minutes|MTV]]. His style could generally be defined as [[psychobilly]], a musical genre which blends [[rockabilly]] with [[punk rock]]. Nixon hosted ''The Loon in the Afternoon'' radio show on the Outlaw Country channel of [[Sirius Satellite Radio|Sirius XM]].

==Early career==
Neill Kirby McMillan Jr. was born in [[Chapel Hill, North Carolina]], on August 2, 1957.<ref name=bio>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mojo-nixon-mn0000578028/biography|title=Mojo Nixon biography|last=Huey|first=Steve|work=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=January 10, 2018|archive-date=August 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160809043424/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mojo-nixon-mn0000578028/biography|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name = Bilstein>{{cite magazine|url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mojo-nixon-dead-obituary-1234964257/|title = Mojo Nixon, Unabashed Outlaw Cult Hero, Dead at 66|last = Bilstein|first = Jon|date = February 7, 2024|accessdate = February 7, 2024|magazine = [[Rolling Stone]]|archive-date = February 8, 2024|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240208010118/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mojo-nixon-dead-obituary-1234964257/|url-status = live}}</ref> He paired with [[Skid Roper]] in the early 1980s in San Diego. Roper mostly provided instrumental backup to Nixon's lyrics. Nixon and Roper released their first album in 1985 on [[Enigma Records]], ''[[Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper (album)|Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper]]''. The song "Jesus at McDonald's" from that album was the duo's first single.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}

Nixon and Roper's third album, 1987's ''[[Bo-Day-Shus!!!]]'', featured the song "Elvis Is Everywhere", a deification of [[Elvis Presley]], which is his best known song (Nixon later declared his personal [[Trinity|religious trinity]] was Presley, [[Foghorn Leghorn]], and [[Otis Campbell]]).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/entertainment/2022/08/11/elvis-presley-45-years-after-death-priscilla-presley/10165620002/|title=45 Elvis events in the 45 years since the death of the King: A year-by-year look|first=John|last=Belfuss|publisher=[[Commercial Appeal]]|date=August 10, 2022|accessdate=February 8, 2024|archive-date=August 18, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230818214009/https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/entertainment/2022/08/11/elvis-presley-45-years-after-death-priscilla-presley/10165620002/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper were also recorded in San Francisco during these early years by producer [[Sylvia Massy]] at [[CD Presents]] for the ''Rat Music For Rat People'' compilation album.

Throughout the late 1980s, Nixon and Roper produced several satirical pieces lampooning contemporary celebrities, such as [[MTV]] [[VJ (media personality)|VJ]] [[Martha Quinn]], in "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin", and [[Rick Astley]] and [[Debbie Gibson]], in "[[Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child]]". Nixon appeared in several promotional spots for MTV during this period, but the network's decision not to air the video for "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant ..." prompted him to sever ties with the network. Meanwhile, Nixon and Roper also lampooned contemporary American culture and social issues in songs such as "I Hate Banks", "Burn Down the Malls", and "The Amazing Bigfoot Diet".{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}

Nixon and Roper parted ways late in 1989. The following year Nixon recorded a solo album on Enigma Records called ''[[Otis (Mojo Nixon album)|Otis]]''. On this album, Nixon continued his assault on [[pop culture]], as in the song "[[Don Henley]] Must Die", which caused a fresh round of controversy, even to the point of Nixon's record company begging radio stations ''not'' to play it.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} (Henley himself was unfazed; on July 31, 1992, at The Hole in the Wall in [[Austin, Texas]], the former Eagle jumped onstage and performed the song with Nixon, causing Nixon to praise Henley as having "balls as big as church bells", as well as to ask, "Is Debbie Gibson here too?")<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2014-06-20/don-henley-must-die/|title=Don Henley Must Die|website=Austinchronicle.com|date=June 20, 2014|access-date=April 20, 2020|archive-date=May 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200524145354/https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2014-06-20/don-henley-must-die/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Later career==
Shortly after ''Otis'' was released, Enigma Records went bankrupt, which left much of Nixon's early catalog in legal limbo.<ref name="Blistein">{{cite web |last1=Blistein |first1=Jon |title=Mojo Nixon, Unabashed Outlaw Cult Hero, Dead at 66 |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mojo-nixon-dead-obituary-1234964257/ |website=Rolling Stone |access-date=16 March 2025 |date=8 February 2024}}</ref> In the 1990s, Nixon released a handful of albums on several labels with a backup band known as the Toadliquors. These later albums included songs such as "You Can't Kill Me", "[[O. J. Simpson|Orenthal James]] (Was a Mighty Bad Man)", and the controversial "Bring Me the Head of [[David Geffen]]", which was ultimately released on a [[B-side]] collection due to pressure from album distributors. Also among his later work was "[[Tie My Pecker to My Leg]]", which featured lyrics about [[bestiality]], [[incest]], and [[coprophilia]].{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}

In the mid-1990s, Nixon collaborated on albums with [[Jello Biafra]] (''[[Prairie Home Invasion]]''), [[Dave Alvin]], and members of the [[Beat Farmers]], including [[Bernard Seigal|Buddy "Blue" Seigal]] (''Live in Las Vegas'' by the Pleasure Barons). [[Country Dick Montana]] of the Beat Farmers, who was a close friend of Nixon's, was eulogized on Nixon's 1999 album, ''The Real Sock Ray Blue'', after his 1995 death onstage of a heart attack.

Nixon retired from the music business in 2004, playing his last live show on March 20 of that year at the Continental Club in [[Austin, Texas]].{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} In later years, he occasionally performed at special events, as he did to support fellow musician [[Kinky Friedman]]'s candidacy for [[Texas]] governor.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 22, 1993 |title=Opinion &#124; Outside of Alternative Radio, Who's Heard of Mojo Nixon? |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/01/22/opinion/l-outside-of-alternative-radio-who-s-heard-of-mojo-nixon-894593.html |website=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=February 11, 2017 |archive-date=August 28, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828105237/http://www.nytimes.com/1993/01/22/opinion/l-outside-of-alternative-radio-who-s-heard-of-mojo-nixon-894593.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=January 11, 1993 |title=Opinion &#124; Might as Well Book Mojo Nixon |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/01/11/opinion/might-as-well-book-mojo-nixon.html |website=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=February 11, 2017 |archive-date=August 28, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828063305/http://www.nytimes.com/1993/01/11/opinion/might-as-well-book-mojo-nixon.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=People Mojo Nixon taught me to hate |url=https://www.avclub.com/austin/articles/people-mojo-nixon-taught-me-to-hate,52341/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110228234144/https://www.avclub.com/austin/articles/people-mojo-nixon-taught-me-to-hate,52341 |archive-date=February 28, 2011 |website=Avclub.com}}</ref>

==Acting==
Nixon made his acting debut as drummer [[Jimmy Van Eaton|James Van Eaton]] in the 1989 [[Jerry Lee Lewis]] biographical film ''[[Great Balls of Fire!

The 1990s also saw Nixon appear in a further five films, including ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' (1993) and ''[[Car 54, Where Are You? (film)|Car 54, Where Are You?]]'' (1994).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0633264/|title=Mojo Nixon|website=IMDb.com|access-date=April 20, 2020|archive-date=February 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210214405/http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0633264/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1997, Nixon voiced the character of Sheriff Lester T. Hobbes, a recurring enemy in the computer game ''[[Redneck Rampage]]''. The game's licensed [[psychobilly]] soundtrack also features two of his songs.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.discogs.com/release/1623792-Mojo-Nixon-World-Famous-Blue-Jays-UFOs-Big-Rigs-BBQ-Chug-A-Lug |website=[[Discogs]] |title=Mojo Nixon & World Famous Blue Jays - UFOs, Big Rigs & BBQ / Chug-A-Lug |date=1992 |access-date=April 12, 2022 |archive-date=April 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412111753/https://www.discogs.com/release/1623792-Mojo-Nixon-World-Famous-Blue-Jays-UFOs-Big-Rigs-BBQ-Chug-A-Lug |url-status=live }}</ref> There was even a promotional music video filmed for the game featuring the song.

==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.
