I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN

Yesterday was spent doing shopping, including Christmassy stuff which was pretty horrible, so I amused myself in the queue by singing rude words to the Christmas songs which were being played over the PA system in Morrison's. The other news is that my old mate Jim Jackson appears to have won yesterday's election to Northam Town Council (as a Conservative no less), so I fully intend to have some fun with him. Last night mother ate curry for the first time, and washed it down with a glass of Kingfisher. I am very proud of her. We have a film director coming to tea this afternoon, and I am interviewing Michael Des Barres later on, so it looks like it will be a jolly day.

Michael Des Barres is on the bill for a special concert paying tribute to the Rolling Stones

The new limited edition coloured vinyl version of the new Galahad album is available, and it is a thing of wonder

Peter McAdam is ridiculously funny. If he was any funnier he would be made to have a Government Health Warning printed on his forehead reading "H.M Government warn that excessive consumption of Mr McAdam's work will lead to your sides splitting' or something like that

The third part of our interview with the lovely Judy Dyble

I am perfectly aware that this following story is off-topic but when Paul McCartney appears on stage with the surviving members of Nirvana and makes an elegantly brutal noise, it has to be noteworthy

And finally for today, our daily visit to Thom the World Poet

*  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 same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures 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, his mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
