Please explain. As many other here, English is not my first language.
#3: Trish (tryingmysoul) on Oct 31, 2010
English is my only language, but I have no idea what's going on here. Pretty puzzle though.

"Mr. Mojo Risin'" can be anagrammed to Jim Morrison. It's a verse in the doors song LA Woman, of which Jim Morrison was the lead singer.

#1 Sorry about that. I have partial color-blindness and have trouble distinguishing between the reds and greens in the puzzles, so I probably missed it.

As for the other issues, this illustrates a lyric from a well known song by a famous group of the 60s and 70s. I felt that labeling it as a rebus would be misleading. However, the letters are a rebus; the other objects are a clue.

Tom: What?

Thanks, ant. I was feeling mighty old there.

And thank you Claudia for reminding me that this is international.

Tom: The "What?" still stands.

what, Robert..meant: i don't get it...guess i'm an old fashion guy

I didn't get it either, until you included the answer to the rebus. That would have been helpful to include in the description or first comment. Now that I get it, I think it was very clever. :-)

if you ever get back here, Robert... this is cool! as soon as I started getting the letters placed I saw what it was. maybe I'm old, huh? :-)
