Happy new year! Went to see Mojo Saturday nite in Dallas. They had $3.75 pints of Guinness and and killer Hurricanes so our group of 8 Mojoholics that met for the show were primed for the festivities.
It was unlike any Mojo show I had seen before(I'm guessing this was around number 18 for me). He was in bad shape from celebrating too hard the night before in Austin and had lost his voice. I talked to him at the bar before the show where he was downing gin and tonics trying to ward off the shakes. He said that his wife was with him in Austin and he was partying before going on and she came up to him and said "You are smashed!" and he said "Well, time to get on stage then." I asked him if Pete "Wet Dog" Gordon played with him last night and he said yes but then changed his answer. He said he didn't really play he mainly just rolled around on stage and screamed at the crowd. He said he was drunker than shit. Mojo asks me the time and I tell him it's 5 till 12 and he takes off for the bathroom and the stage.
They start playing and he explains to the crowd that his voice is shot and the crowd has to help him out. The crowd of about 70 or so seemed very laid back with it being the night after the biggest party night of the century but as soon as Mojo asked us to start singing/screaming everybody was loud and ready. Mojo took a step back and looked surprised and ordered another "crippler" (pint glass of gin and tonic, light on the tonic). We were entertained for 90 minutes with songs and stories about the night before. Turns out that alcohol was not the only drug Mojo was ingesting. He said he had a bad case of coke boogers when he got up the next afternoon. He had people in Austin who were betting him he would not make the Dallas show. Highlights were a slowed down version of "Ain't high falootin" with only Mojo on guitar and everyone's favorite sing along "Tie my pecker".
You should have seen this hot bartender chick when Mojo was singing about eating a yard of her shit just to watch her cum. It was her first Mojo show and she was about to get down in the floor laughing so hard. He ended with the favorites Elvis and Don Henley and then came back out for a stirring version of "You can't kill me" that left me without a voice the next day.

I just saw Mojo play at Little Brother's here in Columbus and it was pretty Awesome.
A group of local guys called "The Sovines" after the late great Red Sovine opened up and got the audience real loose'n'lubed with their Link-Wray-In-A-Truck sound. They even did a cover of Knitters song about stompin' on chickens called "Wreckin Ball."
Mojo opened up with Debbie Gibson and didn't slow down for an hour and half of solid rock. He kept making jokes about being fat and forty, but If I'm not mistaken he's actually lost a couple of lbs. since I saw him last. I was worried for a while...Seemed like every time I saw him there was one less Toad Liquor and more Mojo. Cannibalism can really go a long ways towards wrecking a good band. Regardless, Mojo rules.
