THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN STOOPS TO CONQUER

The other day I posted what appeared to be an open letter from Greg Lake which appeared on a foreign blog. As I always do, I included a link to where I got it from. However, hidden in the original post there was a link where people could download illegal copies of Greg's new album. I had no idea about this, and as soon as it was brought to my attention I removed the post. But it only goes to show how careful you have to be, and I would like to apologise to everyone who I inadvertently wronged.

 

On another irritating note, as some of you may have noticed, visiting the homepage of this week's issue of The Gonzo Weekly flashes up an error message in Google Chrome. As far as I am aware this is completely spurious, and is a problem woth Chrome, rather than anything to do with us. The problem seems to be that one of the links in this week's issue is also linked to a video production company called www.massoutreach.com. I have never heard of them, and certainly not had any dealings with them, but it is THIS company that causes the error messages to be flashed up in Chrome. It doesn't do it in either Internet Explorer or Firefox. The Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page seems to imply that there is actually nothing wrong with massoutreach.com either.

If you have problems reading the newsletter in Chrome, I would suggest that you press the "proceed anyway" link, or just use another browser. I apologise for this blip, which is annoying because this week's issue is a particularly good one. Be assured that it does seem to be nothing to do with us, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

*  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, and sometimes a small Indian frog. 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?
