THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS ON THE LAM

Today has mostly been rather nice so far. As regular readers will know, the Orange Cat is on an extended (and probably permanent) period of sick leave in Staffordshire with my step-daughter Shosh who is a vet, and therefore better equipped to deal with his senescence-related health problems than I. However, this house has usually had an orange cat in it. We had one called Peter Perkins who lived here from 1971 until 1988, and - of course - the most recent incumbent. So, imagine how I felt when Matt Osborne, looking slightly harassed but grinning from ear to ear, turned up this morning with a plastic cat basket containing a seven month old orange kitten. Although he has a kitten's face, he is as big as the other orange cat already, and looks set to be enormous!
 
It's a bit like The Pope. We have a new Orange Cat but the original one remains the Orange Cat Emeritus.
 

Today's Gonzo Track of the Day is from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

This is really good: Can you imagine a band featuring Viv from The Young Ones and our very own Troy Donockley?

This is completely off topic, but is still mildly interesting (and I vaguely knew John Coghlan about 20 years ago). The classic line-up of Status Quo has reformed

*  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
 
* 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?
