THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH BAND HOPS

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
 

It's Sunday, I must be getting old
cos once again I have a cold
I don't know if its new today
or if the last one never went away
 
so quaffing lemsip much of the time
as I sit down to write deathless rhymes
it's my Sunday treat, I must not miss
to do the Gonzo blogs like this
 
Issue 55 of our magazine
(I'm sure you know the one I mean)
with Jaki Windmill and XNA
is out there on the web today

Each day we visit Texas Thom
who's been writing poetry for so long
and before you look at me askance,
that second line's an assonance

33 years ago today
John Lennon was shot and taken away
and a third of a century on
not a day goes by that I don't miss John

Political plotting! I bet you can't guess
but politicians are conspiring to help Yes
after 44 years at the top of their game
to get in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

The post we have coming up next

Gonzo are releasing some rare CDs

And finally for you to dwell upon
an interview with Jon Anderson
who at the age of nearly seventy
knows how to produce a great CD

*  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?
