THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS RECOVERED

Sundays I try to push the parameters

and compose the blog in barbarous hexameters
which sometimes get close to the knuckle
but composing rhymes always makes me chuckle

 

And each week therefore I try and explain
that the rhymes don't mean that I've gone insane
cos I'm mad already as you can see
and writing rhymes like this amuses me

 

So to start, let's go to Austin Town
where Thom the World Poet can be found
today he writes to say goodbye
to Ray, the stop-motion animation guy

And now our Gonzo Track of the Day
is from a favourite of us all so shout WAYHAY!
it's the man I listen to in my car
Ladies and Gentlemen: Michael Des Barres!

Go to the Green Man (you should try it)
cos Julian Cope and Robert Wyatt
are doing spoken word this year
which is something I really would like to hear

Now check this out, I think you'd better
issue 25 of our weekly newsletter
which is now almost a magazine
has just gone out if you know what I mean

Now I think you all should understand
that Zenit are a groovy band
which I cover regularly on this blog
cos I like their brand of neoprog

Crosby Stills and Nash go jazz
and if you've got their records (nearly everyone has)
you will understand when I say then
this is quite a departure for these men

*  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?
