THE GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN RUNS AROUND IN EVER DIMINISHING CIRCLES

Sunday comes around so fast

but yes, another week has passed
so boys and girls, again its time
to do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme

 

It's self indulgent (that I know)
but it amuses me and so
once a week in rhyme I feed ya
the latest from Gonzo Multimedia

 

And we'll kick off now (I think we'd better)
with issue 40 of the newsletter
which has almost turned into a magazine
its available now (if you know what I mean)

Last weekend Judge Smith was here
at The Weird Weekend down in Devonshire
he gave a great talk to the world and his wife
about his theories on the afterlife

And now let's Go to Texas Thom
an Austin Poet originally from
somewhere in the antipodes
where he learned to write poems like these

And now the answer to your prayers
I've chosen a song by Kevin Ayers
to be our Track of the Day today
and so there's nothing left to say

And now a tribute to Mick Farren
cos since his death the world's seemed barren
so listen now, it's good and fine
by the real music club online

Here's some exclusive words and pics
on the band who invented space rock licks
in Bournemouth town on friday night
Graham was there, it was quite a sight

And that's enough poetry for now
but we'll be back next week (and how!)

 

*  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 54 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?
