I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

And so we reach the weekend. Richard and I treated our colds in the traditional way and are both considerably better. Today is going to be a hive of activity as (to use Richie West's expression) we play catch up, and try and get ahead of the game once more. The initial sales of the Journal of cryptozoology are good. If you want to check it out go to www.journalofcryptozoology.com. Neil Young's two new albums have relaunched my enthusiasm for his music and I am now working backwards, and am rediscovering 'Greendale'...

Here is Michael Des Barres with a slightly startled look on his face, hanging on to the leg of an exceptionally beautiful young woman. The lady in question is apparently called AJ Celi, and she is wearing "her lollypop dress". However, I have absolutely no idea what they are doing, where they are doing it, or why. Can someone please enlighten me? http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/i-have-absolutely-no-idea-what-this-is.html

This interview with John Payne is a couple of years old but well worth reading

As regular readers will be aware, I spend a lot of my time looking for the stranger and most out there stories about Gonzofolk. But this takes the biscuit; a recipe for carrot cake inspired by Captain Beefheart:

Our daily visit to the multitalented Thom the World Poet

Today I have the new limited edition CD thingy Voxpop Puella from the ever wonderful Helen McCookerybook. I also have a book about alien abductions in the United States. I wonder whether you can guess which one I am looking forward to most.

A great Jefferson Starship review
 
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?
