Mojo Nixon's cultural influence is being honored in Ohio.
Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will unveil a new installation dedicated to the late comedian, actor, punkabilly musician and Cincinnati radio DJ at 2 p.m. Wednesday. The dedication will be followed by a musical tribute, with attendees including members of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, The Pogues, Jason & The Scorchers and Georgia Satellites.
The installation's unveiling comes one day after Nixon's legacy was celebrated at the Ohio State House. State Reps. Jamie Callender and Michele Grim declared Tuesday that June 11 would be known as Mojo Nixon Day in Ohio.
Known for his satirical lyrics and irreverent humor, Nixon's hits included "Elvis is Everywhere," “Don Henley Must Die" and his and Skid Roper's song, "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child." Nixon died at the age of 66 on Feb. 7.
He was most known in Cincinnati as a radio host, starting his career in 1998 on WLW (700 AM). However, station officials quickly realized his humor was a better fit for WEBN (102.7 FM), the Cincinnati Post reported. The Miami University alum could be heard on WEBN's Dawn Patrol until 2002.
