And so we never did get to Oakham. We are probably going next week. But in the meantime all sorts of jolly things are happening. Yesterday was a particularly productive day, and for once, I managed to get everything done that I wanted to. So today's bloggofying is on time...
We start off with the mighty Marquis. Michael Des Barres was on the Andy Dick show the other day. We will be bringing you more pictures in the next few days, but here is an overview and a link to view it. I hope that we shall bring you the video footage soon..

I still can't get my head around the fact that I am part of the publicity team (albeit a very minor cog) for artists such as Jefferson Starship who have been massively important to me over the years. Today another link to a story about the new 4CD live album.

Rock and Roll is truly an international thing. It gives me great pleasure to bbring you translations of worldwide reviews of Gonzo artists, like this Portuguese review of Chris Thompson's new album. By the way, if anyone can solve the pun in my title, email me on jon@cfz.org.uk and you will win an unspecified prize.

Merrell Fankhauser is truly a music biz legend. I am currently reading John 'Drumbo' French's memoir of his time with Captain Beefheart, and Merrell's fingerprints are all over it. Here is another review of his recent compilation album. Again it is a privelige to be working with him!

As regular readers will know, although most of what I write in these pages is about Gonzo Multimedia artists, their friends and relations, and other stuff like that, on occasions I digress onto a subject that I find interesting, and which I hope will interest you guys as well. Today I look at a graphic novel representation of the decline and fall of Michael Jackson.

I have been a fan of Yes ever since someone played me 'Close to the Edge' on the school bus, something like 40 years ago. It is interesting to see how they have morphed and changed over the years, with Chris Squire as the only constant. Today he is interviewed, and we have nicked it for the Gonzo Daily.

And that, boys and girls, is about it for today. I am now awaiting the arrival of a Swedish Professor who is going to talk about dogs. Golly, I am glad that I don't have a proper job.
