Mojo Nixon BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Mojo Nixon’s headline in Rolling Stone just days ago echoed across the music world: cult rocker and radio rabble-rouser, best known for his wild-eyed anthem Elvis Is Everywhere, has died at age 66 after suffering a cardiac event aboard the Outlaw Country Cruise.
