I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It's sunday afternoon way hay

as usual I have stuff to say,
and each week at about this time
I do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme

 

Why? They ask with some bemusement
it's simple, t'is for my own amusement
so dear friends its time to say
I think we should get underway

 

Here is the new Hawkwind newsletter
when I got it, I thought I'd better
post it here, and so I did (but like a jerk)
cos its a repost the links don't work

And now the Gonzo Track of the Day
is a song by Spirits Burning
I interviewed them yesterday
they're really good (as I am learning)

And now a song by Michael Des Barres
another odball cover version
of the Velvet Underground A-Ha!!!
an interesting musical excursion

And now, it is a special day
it is David Allen's birthday
I'm not going to tell you his age,
but here's a groovy tribute page

Barbara Dickson played folk clubs
which were usually held in the back of pubs
but she doesn't do it any more
it was way back B4 74

And now I'm gonna take you down
to Texas and to Austin Town
he is very clever and never rude
he's the awesome Gonzo poet dude
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/01/thom-world-poet-daily-poem_13.html

 

And now I go off topic a bit
but I thought this video would fit
its a YouTube tribute review thing
of 'In the Court of the Crimson King'
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/01/vide-review-king-crimson-in-court-of.html

 

And now back to Daevid again
Rob Ayling knew him way back then
he sings "Happy Birthday to You"
and Don Falcone pays tribute too

And finally Al from Atkins/May
has an interview with lots to say
its interesting to say the least,
he's the bloke who founded Judas Priest

I usually do six posts each day
but this time I got carried away
I think that you'll find that there are nine
I'll be back tomorrow (but not in rhyme)

 

*  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?
