THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN GOES ROUND IN EVER DIMINISHING CIRCLES

Sundays is a jolly time
cos I do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme
which sometimes causes some bemusement
but I do it for my own amusement
 
And we will start off Gonzo blogs today
with a a band that I just have to say
their album is bloody good innit
They're from Switzerland and they're called Zenit

Now Alan Davey, he's just ace
he's ex-Hawkwind (where he played the bass)
and I know I've posted this before
but currently he is out on tour

Here is a strange video of an Irish group
sent in to us by Douglas Shoop
a keen blog reader who thinks its insane
to see U2 in the pouring rain

The Gonzo Track of the Day is here
and probably my worst rhyme is near
I'm not being too perverse see
but here's a song by Cris Roversi

And now as we do every day
we take a trip down Austin Way
to meet a poet we dote upon
and by the way his name is Thom
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/03/thom-world-poet-daily-poem_3.html
 
and last we know just what it takes
here's a picture of two surfing greats
Merrell Fankhauser and Dean Torrence
I can't think of a rhyme, here's a shoddy assonance

So that's about it from this bloggyfreak
The poems will be back next week.
 

*  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:

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
