Mojo Nixon had "maybe the best tour rider" ever
boingboing.net
Shortly after his death, Mojo Nixon’s tour rider (a “Very Reasonable Rider to Contract”) also began making the rounds again on the internet.

Excerpts quoted in the article:

Be Nice: (A) Elvis was always polite; (B) Have a good time; (C) Don’t beat up rowdy fans unless absolutely necessary.

Beer, Snacks, Beer, Dinner and Booze: (A) Snacks in dressing room for soundcheck. Cheese crackers or such; (B) One case of Budweiser on ice. More beer if we need it. Sometimes we do.

Dressing Room: (A) Big enough for four grown people at least; (B) Bathroom or three piss jars.

Loaders: (A) Just a couple of guys or gals to help carry stuff from van to stage and back again.

      I kept driving by this place that I thought was a bar when I lived in L.A. called Jumbo’s Clown Room. Eventually I thought I had to stop and go into a place with a name like that. Sadly, it was a strip club (which I’m not into anyway) with a stripper looking as I imagine another stripper could not possibly have looked as bored as she was.

      Big Top Candy Shop is right across the street, but can’t say I know anything about a clown bar. And here I thought I was a true Austinite 😂

          Oh the original Continental Club is in Austin, been there since the 50s. The 2nd location in Houston location opened more recently. There’s a SXSW poster on the right, so I’m going to assume this was taken in Austin
