THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS TAKING THE DAY OFF

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

And so another Sunday's here
and so once again it's time
to make sure Polyhymnia's here
and do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme

 

the way that I do every week
with the slightest motivation
'cos it amuses this poor freak
and others in this Gonzo Nation

 

So we start with issue 56
of the Gonzo Magazine
there are groovy words and pics
and interviews to keep you keen

Issue 56 of Gonzo Weekly is out, featuring interviews with Percy Jones of Brand X, Pam Windo about her extraordinary career with her late husband Gary, Nick Mason from Pink Floyd and Robert Wyatt. We have Cyrille Verdeaux going through the Clearlight compilation track by track. We have Hawkwind live in Southampton, me on the new George Harrison biography, more news from Clepsydra and XNA, Doug Harr on Rick Wakeman, and Orrin Hare on the enigmatic L-Voag. We have a visit to a Victorian freakshow with Crystal Grenade and columns from C J Stone and Kev Rowland and more news, reviews, features and comments than you can shake a stick at. And its free.

from the profound to the absurd

And that is it from me this week
I'm signing off, signed Jon the Freak

 

*  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?
