I hope Natalie Maines and Kris Kristofferson are both having wonderful days today.

Y'know, there are people on this board who've lost loved ones to cancer, so maybe you could go fuck off.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hope you never have to watch someone die of cancer

[Cobra Commander]

Knock on wood, but no musicians died (that we know of) while the thread was locked

Krisofferson pretty much publicly denied the Ethan Hawke version of that "Willie Nelson birthday party" story, although would it shock you if he forgot the argument or if he didn't really care enough to have a public feud.

[Curt McGirt]

I read that too. Kris being a master storyteller wouldn't want any story that good to die, I'm sure.

[mystman]

Sorry to everyone for disrupting the thread. Cancer's hit my family and friends hard, and I'm a little over sensitive about the subject. Again, my apologies.

Don't worry about it.  I was being extremely glib and earned that gfy.  Very sorry for your loss, and please believe me when I say it was nothing personal.

Mojo Nixon has passed, looks like he had a heart attack after performing on an Outlaw Country Cruise.

Aw man, this hurts. One of my cherished memories is seeing him in 98 or 99 at a shitty, shitty club in Houston. He made fun of my friends, who were 20, for not having fake IDs and dedicated "Are You Drinkin' With Me, Jesus?" to "the sad sack motherfuckers from the Universjty of Houston who didn't bring a fake ID to my show"

[Cobra Commander]

Well, a trio of Wayne Kramer, Toby Keith, and Mojo Nixon is certainly a trio

[Ace]

A friend of mine is on the cruise. He saw Mojo last night, and heard the code call for Mojo this morning.

 

[Travis Sheldon]

Damn, Mojo was a character.

Used to wear out some of his albums when I would be out delivering pizza in the wee hours of the morning.

I was happy to listen to him on Sirius XM.

R.I.P. Mojo

[Robert C]

This one hurts.  Wherever he is right now, I'd like to think Mojo is on stage singing with Glenn Frey.

I liked a few of Toby's older songs but felt he descended into a country music cliche

Toby Keith - God Love Her - YouTube

he also did a video with Amy Weber who was briefly a WWE Diva
