Yea. It's like back in the day, when you would roll down to Belle Isle, and see 30 cars there, all with Mojo's show on full blast on their radios. That's the beautiful thing about his shows: how he united Detroit in that way. It didn't matter who you were, who you hung with or what your bag was, Mojo, indeed, provided the soundtrack to our lives.

Check out www.thedetroitcrawl.org for the Motorbaby meet and greets! I won't be at the LoveQuake this weekend, but if I don't go out of town, I'll stop by the Fifth Avenue in Comerica Park (when in the hell did we get a Fifth Avenue?)on the 25th, my birthday's the 26th, so I will be coming to party, ya'll!!

Some of you local peeps, read you org notes.

those MJ vs Prince Wars were AWESOME.....Mojo IS the reason I listen to Prince..

I heard him play "Ronnie talk to Russia" and that WAS IT...

I remember listening to the premiere of Theives in the Temple too..

I hope Mojo knows how much we all love him

As you can tell by my name and avatar, I was VERY much influenced by Mojo and his Midnight Funk Association on WJLB in Detroit..

Does ANYONE know what happened to this cat?

Prince used to call into his show evertime he performed in concert.

My fondest memories is hearing , Knee Deep, Controvery, Get It Up, Numbers, Square Biz, Clear and Ghetto Life, all in one sequence. Radio will never be that good again.

I was also,,

Probably influenced my music listening more than anyone other than my mom.


First time I heard Prince, Rick James, Kraftwork, Art of Noise, and Cybertron on his show.
.

I'm still very much involved in the Detroit Underground Techno Scene.

He's still doing various shows and Festivals but I don't think he d.j.'s on the radio anymore. He made appearances at the last two Detroit Music Festivals.

Sorry, it took me so long to see this post, I was over at HQ venting!

Where the heck were you the other night, when I was up in here having Mojo flashbacks?

As you can see in my signature, Mojo was and still is my favorite DJ! He turned me out when I was just babe of 8. Most of my pre and adolescent misbehaving stemmed from the fact that I would get caught, still up waaay past my bedtime trying to listen to Mojo!

Mojo is the one who turned me on to Prince. I do hope Prince realized how much Mojo helped his career and did something to show his gratitude besides giving a shout out.

I had the honor of meeting Mojo face to face in '99. I didn't even realize it was him until I heard him speak, then I got all giddy, you'd think Prince himself had just walk in or something. He was real cool though, and I really enjoyed our conversation about the days of the Midnight Funk Association. Radio just hasn't been the same.

I heard he still has www.electrifyingmojo.com registered so maybe he'll do something for us online again. If not, as I said in another post, Mojo, three words...Sirius Satellite Radio!! I've already got mine, and I'm ready when you are!

Mojo was the reason that in the early days of Prince's career, Detroit was his biggest radio market. But it goes a lot deeper than his love and support of Prince's music. Mojo was the LAST free-thinking DJ in the Detroit market. When he was in his heyday on WGPR, he was also the only "urban" dj that regularly spun artists such as the B-52's (who also gave Mojo a lot of credit for their early career, so much that they named one of their album "Whammy Kiss" after one of Mojo's trademark sayings), The Rolling Stones, Bowie, Billy Squier, etc.

After leaving the Detroit area for awhile, it seemed that whenever a new radio station was starting up and they needed ratings, they got Mojo. He jump started WJLB into the powerhouse (piece of crap) that it is today. And what usually happened was after Mojo brought HUGE ratings to the station, they would want to confine him to a format, and that's just not what he does. At his last radio job in Detroit, he got fired for playing classical music, when a young listener had asked whether any black people composed classical music.

Mojo is a legend and an icon, and it's amazing that more people don't know about him. His is the story that movies should be written about.

I LOVE MOJO! did anyone ever pick up his book of poetry?
