Graham's Gonzo Blog updates for Saturday

In Jon's continuing absence, Graham's manning the shiny Gonzo Mixing Desk!

Today's weather is even worse than yesterday's, which makes me pleased Gonzo's area of activity is the music industry, rather than hedgerow-planting or roof repairs.

So, today's Gonzo updates have been completed without a single raindrop landing on me:

There's a Polish review of the Rick Wakeman CD, In The Nick Of Time, but worry not - it's been translated:

We have a review of the recent Hawkwind gig in Southampton, but it's not by me; it's by a bloke called HelmStone:

Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick on aging rock stars, drugs, and life as a painter:

Jon Downes on how Captain Beefheart contributed to possibly his greatest achievement....

News that should please Zappa fans:

And an editorial from Gonzo's Jon about his musical tastes. Brace yourself:

Hmmm, I see that last item doesn't mention Scott Walker. I like to retire to a safe distance when he's playing that stuff, to be quite honest.

Anyway, Cheers for now.
Graham.
