I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

Things are very slowly getting back to normal. I have received a lot of CDs and DVDs over the past couple of days - some for review purposes and some for birthday presents. However, my dear and trusty hi-fi amp blew up last night (after providing great service for fifteen years) and took one of my speakers with it. So I can't listen to anything for a day or two. Young David (my nephew) is lending me some studio monitors he pinched from somewhere, and I will be back in action in a day or two. In the meantime, on with the blogs...

We kick off (geddit?) with some more news about Jon Anderson's new football song. The man gets better and better, at the age when most of us would be thinking about a pipe and slippers and taking the dog for a walk just before closing time. I am seriously impressed and cannot wait until the new album.

Chris Evans is a bit like Terry Christian. They both have really irritating stage personas, yes I know that Terry is actually a really nice guy and I suspect that so is Chris. He recently had Dave Brock from Hawkwind on his show, and you can catch up with what happened on BBC iPlayer

Last week, the massively funny Peter McAdam launched the '9 Henrys' book with a party featuring Martin Stephenson and other special guests. It looked like it was a lot of fun. Here are images and a video.

And whilst on the subject of Martin Stephenson, here is a link to an amusing and very insightful review..

And finally. Your editor is basically an old hippy. It was his birthday yesterday, and he wants to say thank you for all the love and support from the Gonzo Daily readers
