THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN TALKS TO A PORCUPINE

Sundays I wake late with a wheeze and a cough

and usually take the whole day off
but then I always find the time
to do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme

 

I watched The Rolling Stones last night
and apart from 'Miss You' (which was shite)
they were bloody magnificent (that's a fact)
and it's great to see Mick Taylor back

 

I watched it all with Dave B-P
'cos he can get the BBC
but now I have to try quite hard
to be the Gonzo rhyming bard

 

The first of the Gonzo posts today
is Thom the World Poet, let's shout 'Wayhay!'
he lives in Austin, his poetry's fine
I'm glad that he's a friend of mine

Now Judy Dyble on Norwegian TV
singing a song that is dear to me
she's brilliant, what else can I say?
That's why it's the Gonzo track of the day

Prog Rock is back, says Uncle Rick
that's news that might make some folk sick,
but there's one thing I would like to say
in my house it never went away

Now if you want a groovy scene
read the Gonzo weekly Magazine
It's really good, what's more it's free
and its edited by my cats and me

A review of Mr Averell
an artist who's done very well
his album 'Gridlock' is fantastic
(I think CDs are pressed on plastic)

Mark Murdock is a percussive star
his album's great, he should go far
and so today from me to you
I'm reprinting an interview
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/06/classic-rock-radio-dot-eu-interview.html

 

*  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?
