THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN MAKES FATUOUS SUGGESTIONS ABOUT NEWTS

On Sunday's when its not too hard

I become a sort of rock and roll bard
and spend ten minutes of my time
doing the Gonzo Sunday blogs in rhyme

 

Why? It's merely to amuse me
day to day life tends to confuse me
so I like to make my words all dance
in stupid rhymes and assonance

 

So let's start off with Texas Thom
The World Poet I often muse upon
I promise next time I'm in Austin
I'll visit him, that'll be bostin!

Frank Zappa's really where its at
if you want to find out why my cat
is called Frunobulax, my dear
just watch the video, its right here

A video of Keith from ELP
was recently sent down to me
in which he claims (you'll never guess)
that he was once asked to join Yes

The last record Peter Banks made
or at least the last on which he played
Days Between Stations is its name
and it deserves its slice of fame

From Switzerland come a band called Zenit
They are really bloody good man innit?
and so today from me to you
I repost a rather good review

The other night I watched a DVD
which really looked good to Mum and me
A Dutch 1970 festie
and here's a review (you might have guessed-see)

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: You try and find a rhyme for Dutch Woodstock, except for 'Much Woodcock', and believe me I tried, but I couldn't get those two words in context)

 

*  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 two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) 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?
