THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN PREPARES

The Sunday before the Weird Weekend
isn't the easiest in my life, friend,
but one of the things that improves my time
is doing the Gonzo blogs in rhyme
So let's start with a very groovy scene
the latest Gonzo magazine
edited by this humble scribe
is available now so please subscribe

Outside my office there is a trellis,
and here we find out how Vangelis
teamed up with Mr Anderson
who just like me has been named Jon

And now we have from me to you
a mildly interesting interview
from Yes who sometimes appear dour
and talk about their latest tour

Our track of the day (for goodness sake man)
is not one but four people called Wakeman
three who play and one who'll sing
Rick Wakeman and his three offspring

And last but not least we must go
down to Austin, Texas don't you know
to read what Thom the World Poet'll say
about security and the NSA

But I'm going to go now if you please
'cos today I'm as mad as a bagful of cheese

*  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:

* 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?
