I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

I have been playing footsie with a head cold for about three weeks now, but despite the best efforts of lemsip and brandy it has kicked in, and I am feeling sorry for myself. Last night, dosed up with brandy and decongestants, mother and I watched Frost/Nixon (which was excellent) and I ate olives. I am probably going to be out of action for much of today, so I will get on with my reading, and sit in a corner with the orange cat...
More on the inspirational Malala from Thom the World Poet. As her father says: "“Malala and all other female human rights activists must be heard seriously and sincerely. If today, their voice goes unheard then coming generations will go without basic human rights and sublime values which men and women have been striving for centuries to achieve. We can’t compromise on the peace and prosperity of our future generations.”

I am very fond of Erik Norlander. Not only is her a very talented musician and composer, but he is a damn nice guy as well. It is always a pleasure to chat to him.

Very soon we shall all be able to hear Rick Wakeman's new reworking of 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'. I am looking forward to it immensely.

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?
