I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

So I finally finished my Christmas shopping yesterday. Mother and I trudged around Barnstaple in the rain (she 4ft 11, and me 6ft 7) looking like something from a grotesque caricature of a Victorian street scene. Corinna went grocery shopping thisa morning but forgot the credit cards and is on the way home again. I spoke to Michael Des Barres last night about his forthcoming reissues and his Rolling Stones tribute gig in LA the other night, and am presently reading an extraordinary biography of Evelyn Waugh. So life goes on.
 
Today's Gonzo Track of the Day, is - appropriately - 'Dragons and Fables' by Huw Lloyd-Langton

As I type Graham is at Huw Lloyd-Langton's funeral, which apparently had Dave Brock doing a moving rendition of 'Hurry on Sundown' and a rousing version of 'When the Saints go Marching in' by Dead Fred and Mr Dibs.

*  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?
