I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The weather is finally scheduled to get cold this weekend for the first time, and so, this afternoon I am going on a frogspawn collecting mission to try and see if we can avert the massacre of R.temporaria that took place last year. It is strictly illegal, but I am quite prepared to defend my actions in court should anyone be nasty enough to dob me in to the authorities. Shosh and Gavin go home today, so the Festive Season is finally over for another year. They are also taking the orange cat with them - he needs to have a dental operation next week, so fingers crossed.

Dan Wooding's new book, on classic British rocker Terry Dene is now available. It's a goodun

I also found this article about Greg Lake's early days in King Crimson, and even managed to justify reposting it.

*  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 which he shares with various fish and batrachians. 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?
