THE GONZO BLOG DO-DAH MAN TRIES HIS BEST

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
Sunday lunchtime, feeling mellow
your editor is a cheerful fellow
cos every Sunday he finds the time
to do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme
Why? Some people ask confused
it's merely to keep me amused
but like I once said to my wife
what better aim is there in life?
Gonzo Weekly magazine
has a new issue or so it seems
there's lots of good stuff as I'm sure you guess
Including Hawkwind, Floyd and Yes

I was recording yesterday
a task that took up much of the day
but there's more Mike Davis songs you know
and here's one on a video

I am not pretending to be funny
but if I had a load of money
I might well get you all annoyed
and spend it on stuff by Pink Floyd

Lets all go and have a parade
cos I've chosen Crystal Grenade
to be my Gonzo Track if the Day
You know what I mean WAYHAY!

And now with love from me to you
a cool Steve Hackett interview
full of stuff you must not miss
he even talks about Genesis

And finally lets check out the Nexus
of a city down in Texas
before you ask me "hey what gives?"
it's where Thom the World Poet lives

And that's enough from this rhyming freak
the poems will be back next week...
*  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 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?
