A supporter of the Libertarian Party, he has a degree in political science and history from Miami University in Ohio. Nixon chose his stage name because he felt they were two words which should never go together. He once publicly declared his support because he said he's "not an asshole like Metallica."
Nixon is an ardent supporter of free file sharing of recordings in MP3 and other formats. Country Dick Montana of the Beat Farmers, who was a close friend of Nixon's, was eulogized on Nixon's final album, The Real Sock Ray Blue, after his 1995 death onstage of a heart attack. In the mid-1990s Nixon collaborated on albums with Jello Biafra ( Prairie Home Invasion), Dave Alvin, and members of the Beat Farmers ( Live in Las Vegas by the Pleasure Barons). Also among his later work was " Tie My Pecker To My Leg," which featured lyrics about bestiality, incest, and coprophilia. These later albums included songs such as "You Can't Kill Me," " Orenthal James (Was A Mighty Bad Man)," and the controversial "Bring Me the Head of David Geffen," which was ultimately released on a B-side collection due to pressure from album distributors. In the 1990s Nixon released a handful of albums on several labels with a backup band known as the Toadliquors. Shortly after Otis was released, Enigma Records went bankrupt, which in turn left much of Nixon's early catalog in legal limbo. When Henley jumped out of the crowd, the dumbfounded Mojo immediately asked "Is Debbie Gibson here too?" Nixon later praised Henley thusly: "He has balls the size of church bells!"
Although since Henley didn't actually know the words to the song, the pair agreed to sing " Rick Astley Must Die" instead. On this album Nixon continued his assault on pop culture, most notably in the song " Don Henley Must Die." Several years after its release, Henley jumped onstage with Nixon at the Hole in the Wall in Austin, TX, to perform the song. The following year Nixon recorded a solo album on Engima called Otis. Nixon and Roper parted ways late in 1989. Only two columns were authored, and both ran in the short-lived Peterbelly Magazine. In 1998 he had a short run as an advice columnist with "Life Fixin' with Mojo Nixon". Meanwhile, the duo also lampooned contemporary American culture and social issues in songs such as "I Hate Banks", "Burn Down The Malls" and "The Amazing Bigfoot Diet." Nixon appeared in several promotional spots for MTV during this period, but the network's decision to not show the video for "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child," which starred Winona Ryder, prompted him to sever ties with the network. Throughout the late 1980s Nixon and Roper frequently insulted contemporary celebrities such as MTV VJ Martha Quinn ("Stuffin' Martha's Muffin"), Rick Astley, and Deborah Gibson ("Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child"). Nixon and Roper's third album, 1987's Bo-Day-Shus!!! featured the song "Elvis is Everywhere," a deification of Elvis Presley, which is probably his best known song (Nixon later declared his personal religious trinity was Presley, Foghorn Leghorn and Otis Campbell). Although the album's title is officially Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper, many fans refer to it as "Free, Drunk and Horny." The song "Jesus at McDonald's" from that album was the duo's first noteworthy single. Nixon and Roper released their first album in 1985 on Enigma Records.
Roper mostly provided instrumental backup to Nixon's lyrics.
