THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN REFLECTS

On sundays I always find the time

to do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme
I know my poetry's not good
but it scans and rhymes where I know it should

 

I know some readers are confused
but it keeps this journalist amused
and why? (you ask, I hear the sound)
its cos bad poetry makes the world go round

 

And first I'll tell ya (I think I'd better)
issue 23 of our groovy newsletter
devised and edited by me
has just gone out (click this link, you'll see)

Yesterday Rob Ayling stood in awe
as the second favourite band from Apple Corps
who never did what they should have (in terms of sales)
were honoured by a town in Wales

And finally it's poetry time
from a bard whose words are better than mine
but who is he? Think hard, you know it
it's Texas Thom our fine World Poet

*  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) and his new orange kitten 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 cats?
