Mojo Nixon! The greatest live performer in the history of rock n' roll, and a libertarian to boot. I could spend all day quoting Mojo Nixon. In fact, whenever I question my value as a lawyer, I just quote Mojo: There's a plague on the planet, and they went to law school. A bunch of hornswagelers, who treat us like fools. 'know who I'm talkin' 'bout, let me her ya' shout Destroy all lawyers! Destroy all lawyers!... Wanna' se 'em explode in every zip code.
