In honor of Mojo Nixon, who died the other day, his excellent version of This Land is Your Land

On a bright sunny morning
In the shadow of a steeple
By the relief office
I seen my people
And they were hungry
And they were wondering
Does this land belong to you and me?

This land was made for everybody
Each and everyone of us!
The old, the young, the poor, the rich
The black, the brown, yella, the red
Everybody!
No matter what religion you have
No matter what part of the world you come from to here
This piece of dirt under our feet
Doesn't belong to just one person
The person with the most lawyers doesn't own all of it
It belongs to everybody!
I'm not just talking about the dirt right underneath our feet here
The whole world
The whole Earth belongs to everybody
Each and everyone of us
Each and everyone of us on the planet
Owns all the planet

Aw, man, Mojo has left the building. I saw him once in San Diego in a crappy venue with no stage. He bounced through the crowd, played his liver out, and was just an amazing force of nature.

My favorite Mojo&Skid song has got to be “Where The Hell’s My Money?”, a crazed rambling story about a sleazy club owner and some Madonna-wannabes. “Thirties? There ain’t no thirty-dollar bill with Bill Graham’s picture on it! Whaddaya think I am, some kinda dummy?” #MojoNixon
