I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It's sunday lunchtime don't you know it

its time for Jon to be a poet,
cos each Sunday at about this time
he does the Gonzo blog in rhyme

 

and why is that? some people ask,
trying I think) to take him to task
and like a broken phonograph
he just says 'cos it makes me laugh'

 

so what have we in store today?
NEWSLETTER #4 wayhay!
featuring Yes, Frank Zappa (is this OK so far?)
and Judy Dyble and Michael Des Barres

Now each day I try to take a look
at the blog of Ms McCookerybook
and today, well I was touched the most
by this Christmas Carol service post
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-very-touching-post-from-helen.html

 

And now we can present part two
of my Michael Des Barres interview
it makes me want to scream and shout
cos he has a new Live Album out

From yesterday each day we'll play
a Gonzo Daily Track of the Day
today it's the turn of my friend Liz
a Princess of the Music Biz

And now its time to take you down
to a poet's home in Austin town
we do it each day (don't ya know it?)
Hooray for Thomas the World Poet

To the great sadness of this editor freak
Huw Lloyd-Langton passed last week
and news comes in from near and far
of tributes to this late rock star
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/12/link-huw-lloyd-langton-tribute.html

 

And that is about it for today
there's nothing much for me to say
except if the world doesn't end
the poems'll be back next weekend

*  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?
