In the wake of his passing, the irreverent and spirited Mojo Nixon continues to make waves in the world of rock 'n roll. Ohio prepares to celebrate his life and legacy with a proclamation at the State House on June 11, officially declaring it Mojo Nixon Day. A subsequent event at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on June 12 will unveil artifacts from his colorful career, marking his enduring impact on music and culture. Scott Ambrose Reilly, Nixon's longtime manager reflects:
Mojo would’ve loved the idea he was one of the few things Democrats and Republicans could agree on. He believed in the American Dream...but, he knew it took true rock ‘n roll rebellion to prevent the small-minded and mean-spirited from holding people back.
This sentiment echoes the spirit of Nixon's music, which blended humor and satire to challenge societal norms. Members of The Ohio Legislature and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are recognizing his contributions to music and culture and the connectivity of his life. The events on June 11 and June 12 promise to be vibrant celebrations of Nixon's life and work, featuring appearances by family, friends, and fellow musicians. Don't miss the livestream of the declaration of Mojo Nixon Day on June 11 and the artifact reveal at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on June 12.
