THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS HIS HAT ON, HIP HIP HIP HOORAY

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
As it has been much of the week
my Internet is up the creek
non existent or painfully slow
a British Telecom tale of woe
But the Gonzo Blogs still make it through
rock and roll stuff from me to you
and just because it amuses me
on Sundays I do it in poetry
Forget the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
our track of the day is from Percy Jones
who really is extremely ace
at playing melodic and tuneful bass

And now I post from me to you
a groovy Hawkwind interview
with their maestro David Brock
who is the master of space rock

And now Thom the World Poet's here
we wouldn't forget him have no fear
he gets us through difficult times
with his homour, common sense, and words that rhyme

And now the Gonzo Weekly Magazine
has reached #50 issues seen
and I'm rather proud of what we've done
but we've only really just begun

Casting melliflous musical spells
Frank Zappa's 200 Motels
was done live in London for the first time
here's a review, its really fine

And lastly, something  that really works
Billy Sherwood and Captain Kirk's
interview posted here by me
about their groovy new CD

And that's enough from this particular 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: 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?
