I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

Monday morning and I have the same old blues again, if I can quote the immortal Captain quoting J.J.Cale. We have practically finished the design work for our exhibition in Barnstaple museum, and Corinna comes home tomorrow. She is collecting Mama and a pair of Chinese toads this evening. I am not my brightest and best and will be out of action until Matthew and Emma arrive this evening..

A great interview with Michael Des Barres. I had no idea that he started off his rock career when Andre Lloyd Webber saw him in a nude revue called 'The Dirtiest Show in Town'. Golly!

Bizarrely, yesterday I was helping one of my nieces with a project involving Greek Mythlogy. Well someone who has entered modern day Greek mythology as a legendary keyboard player is Erik Norlander. Check out these two Hellenic reviews...

Our regular daily visit to Thom the World Poet who - today - is investigating merfolk in the southwest of England, which is pretty much what we do all the time.

Ever since I first heard that Rick Wakeman was going to New Zealand, I have been looking forward to hearing how it went. Here is the first review, and it seems that our Mr W has been in top form.

The legendary Jefferson Starship are about to perform their 2,000th show

A taster for the new album by the mighty Atkins/May Project. I, for one, am very impressed

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?
