THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN TALKS TO PENGUINS

I know you've heard this stuff before

but Richard and I were up past four
just drinking wine and talking crap
(he's a convivial kind of chap)

..and he's off to Sumatra and he's my good mate
but it means we are running kind of late,
but it doesn't matter, I can safely say
'cos today is a special day

It's sunday so it's time for me
to do the blogs in poetry
I know it causes some bemusement
but I do it for my own amusement

The Gonzo Track of the day, today
is from Daedalus, I'm proud to say
with their own Italian brand of madness
the perfect cure for prog rock sadness

Steve Hillage plays a groovy guitar
like an alien from a distant star
but now he's only just begun
writing stories in The Sun

Thom Woodruffe lives in Texas state
so next time I go to visit my mate
Nick who lives not far you know it
I'm paying a visit to the world poet

At Yoko's Meltdown while all was quiet
they launched a book about Pussy Riot
and Helen McCookerybook was there you see
and she's written about it for you and me

And now strumming an acoustic guitar
it's none other than Michael Des Barres
with an unplugged show I'd love to see
I hope it'll be on You Tube TV

Now this is a strange interpretatation, see
of Jon Anderson's first LP
about a mystic man Olias
it's very cool, and not too pious

And finally (you know what I mean)
the latest Gonzo Magazine
bloody hell it's issue 30
has been released (and it's not dirty)

Byeeeeeeeeeeeee

*  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?
