I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

So Shosh and Gavin and the Orange Cat went back up to the frozen north yesterday afternoon. The Orange Cat had an opioid injection to calm his nerves, but despite my entreating my cold-hearted stepdaughter (who is, by the way, a qualified vet) wouldn't give me one. I spent the evening watching the DVD by The Gift Band, and mother and I both agreed that it was excellent while Corinna (who dislikes folk music) went off into the other room...

 

As you may have noticed, I am a fan of Helen McCookerybook, and today I have pinched two pieces of artwork from her archive..

I know it is off-topic, but I don't care! Wilko Johnson has been a classic British guitar hero for nearly 40 years. He has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but he's not letting it get him down...

*  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?
