I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

Goodness, it's sunday afternoon

each week goes by far too soon,
and once again I find it's time
to do the weekly blogs in rhyme

 

which is something I do once a week
'cos it amuses this old freak
some others agree totally
about the merits of my poetry

 

We start off with a daintee man
who sings as only a Daintee can
a link to an article written on
the wonderful Martin Stephenson

Now something here from me to you
a Liam Davison interview
Gosh this boy can really play
his album's bloody good WAYHAY!
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/01/link-treasure-of-well-written-songs.html

 

And now before your sunday prayers
the track of the day from Kevin Ayers
it's 'Lady Rachael' can't you see,
a song from off his first LP
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-gonzo-track-of-day-kevin-ayers-lady.html

 

And now we go to Austin Town,
to a dude who'll never let you down
we visit him now every day,
it's Thom the World Poet (didn't I say?)
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/01/thom-world-poet-daily-poem_6.html

 

We do these postings every day
but sometimes there are folk who say
we wan't something more for the in-depth freak
so we do this newsletter every week
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/01/gonzo-newsletter-7.html

 

My nephew Max is a canny boy
here's something I know he'd enjoy
If I'd found this last month, it's shocking
he'd have had a Tarkus toy in his Christmas stocking

 

(PS Max is 22 and doing a doctorate in Insect Genetics at Aberystwith University)

*  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?
