The Gonzo Daily - Monday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

I made an appalling cock up (to use the technical publishing industry terminology) in the most recent edition of Gonzo Weekly. Bart Lancia, my favourite roving reporter, sent me a link to a touching story about country singer Ray Price who at the age of 87 has decided to stop treatment for his advanced pancreatic cancer, and has issued this farewell statement to his fans: "I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them," Price wrote. "I appreciate their support all these years and I hope I haven't let them down. I am at peace. I love Jesus. I'm going to be just fine. Don't worry about me. I'll see you again one day." Unfortunately, probably because I had the death of my old friend Lloyd Pye on my mind, in the link to this story in this weekend's magazine I named him as Lloyd Price. Lloyd Price is an 80-year-old R&B singer who, as far as I am aware, is in fine fettle. I hope that anyone affected by this will accept my sincere apologies. You can see how contrite I am because I haven't even used the headline 'The Price is Right!'

*  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: www.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?
