    Mojo is great.



    There is no better song or title than "Bring Me the Head of David Geffen."

    I interviewed Mojo Nixon years ago, around the time he was on MTV with "Elvis is Everywhere". It was as awesome and chaotic as you would imagine. One of the most entertaining assignments I have ever had.

    He's like your batty black-sheep great uncle who campaigned for John Jay Hooker and rogered his way through his paralegal pool and the church choir while making the world safe for democracy and stoners. He's also certifiable.

    The true acid test: I'd pick him up at the airport.

    You do know I'm probably the only person to get the John Jay Hooker reference, right? Bonus: I once was "arrested"* alongside his son.

    *but of course we were immediately let go once the Metro cops saw the name on his license.

    Donald Trump lived in the Maga Swamp way back in the florida woods
    And he did do a lot of harm in the world
    But he never did do no good
    People didn't think too much of him
    They all thought he acted funny
    The old man didn't care about people anyway
    All he cared about was his money.

    That is hilarious! John Jay Hooker is almost too perfect in its being a fitting moniker for a Tennessee politician.

    Nope. I actually met him and shook his hand.
    When he left the room, I said, "That dude's running for Governor?"

    He was actually a brilliant man before the booze really soaked him. He and his brother-in-law, Judge Gil Merritt, were amazing Constitutional scholars (as is Merritt's son, Eli, who writes Constitutional law columns in the LAT and Daily News all the time).

    Don't get me started about the time I found myself in John Wilder's office. It's a traumatic experience to have the Lt. Gov throw his leg up on the corner of his desk and start digging at his balls like a dog with fleas.
