I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

So, once again another Monday dawns. It is Jess Heard's 21st Birthday today, so much love goes out to her from all of us at CFZ/Gonzo Towers. We have a trainee starting for a week's CFZ experience on Friday; I hope that she gets everything that she would wish out of a week with us. The Barnstaple Museum show continues (I went in on Saturday and it looks grrrrrreat), and Issue One of the Journal of Cryptozoology will be out imminently. The UK leg of the Jefferson Starship tour comes to an end, and everyone involved will be sad to return to normality...

A video (not by me) of Jefferson Starship doing 'White Rabbit' at the Southampton gig last week. There will be more JS and Auburn stuff being edited this week, but I am insanely overstretched at the moment, and whilst I would like to do everything at once, my multitasking skills are not that great....

Martin Stephenson polayed a live set on the Bob Harris show yesterday, and now you can partake of it through the magick of the BBC iPlayer. I am not sure whether the icon on the screen will work for everyone, but the hyperlink will do.

I found this video interview with Paul Kantner and David Freiberg of the mighty Jefferson Starship. It was on YouTube, and very interesting, so I reproduce it here for your delectation.

I recently received this fascinating autobiography by Patrick Campbell-Lyons of Nirvana (the original lot), and whilst I think that the presentation could be improved, it is a bloody good read...

Erik Norlander sent us this fascinating video critique of one of his Gonzo CD/DVD packages. It is well worth watching...

The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
