I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

Have you noticed a certain trend on the Gonzob Daily? Everyone is slowly getting radicalised which cannot be a bad thing. My particular Emma Goldmanesque part of the revolution is fuled by the fact that my Hi-Fi amp has returned better than ever, and the new speakers sound fantastic. I can annoy the neighbours with style, aplomb and flair. (Actually, the cottage is over 200 years old, the cob walls are six foot thick and virtually soundproof. Life is good.

Our daily visit to the universe of Thom the World Poet, who today states that 'my love poems are my political poems', which is a strangely apposite echo of the Crass lyric book 'Love songs'.

While I was pootling about on the Internet the other night, I found this rather spiffing performance by our very own Chris Thompson together with "The Soulmates". Live on "50 Jahre Rock" 2005. My very limited knowledge of the German language leads me to suspect that this was some sort of celebration showcasing the half century since Elvis first did his inimatable thing on Sun Records. But I may be completely wrong. Ask Rob Ayling, he will sadly confirm that I am not quite infallible..

I watched the Wally live DVD the other night, and jolly good it was too. I will be doing a review and posting some odds and ends on these pages soon. However, a few days later I received this review from Germany of their reunion album Montpelier (which is jolly good, by the way). However, the review was so peculiar that I have really no idea what the guy is getting at. But, being in a peculiar mood myself this fine September morning I decided to post it anyway..

Another communique from the heart (or should that be art?) of the revolution. Man the barricades brothers and sisters. The game is well and truly afoot.

I really don't know why it has taken so long for us to post anything about Steve Hillage. He is not only one of the pioneering spacerock guitarists, but his music is never far away from my hi-fi. On top of that, in one of my other incarnations (as editor of UFO Matrix magazine I often reference songs of his (like 1977's 'Light in the Sky', featuring immensely sexy vocals by long time partner Miquette Giraudy). So why have I left it until now to add him to the Gonzo Daily thingy? God alone knows...

The other day I bought myself a shirt emblazoned with Emma Goldman's famous aphorism about dancing. It seems to have inspired me, and I am passing this inspiration on to everyone I can. Michael Des Barres has grabbed the baton and is running with it heroically...

Jefferson Starship and their various side projects have been part of the soundtrack to my life for decades now. It is an honour to be able to be a minor cog in their publicity machine...
