The Gonzo Daily - Monday
I had a most peculiar telephone call yesterday,
from someone called 'Dave' 3with a strong American accenbt. He seemed convinced
that I was going on a march this weekend, and wanted to know whether I could
bring some illegal mind expanding substances with me. I know several people
called Dave, but didn't recognise this one, and even in the hypothetical
situation that I was going on a march (which I am not, as far as I am aware) and
did have some "stinky" (as this bloke called it, presumably meaning "skunk"; I
haven't got any, and don't know where to get it, and don't want it anyway), I
would not be rash enough to admit the fact to a total stranger on the telephone.
Weird huh?
After hours of messing about which nearly resulted
in me reprogramming the computer with a hatchet, the new issue of Gonzo Weekly,
in its swish new format, will be out imminently features interviews with Andy
Colquhoun and Cyrille Verdeaux, a new video from Auburn, news from Acid Mothers
Temple and the Dalai Lama. There are also features on Rocket Scientists,
Clepsydra's private show, what happens when The Psychedelic Warlords collaborate
with Michael Moorcock and a look at music written by Jews who died in the death
camps. and more news, reviews, views, interviews and and London Zoos (OK, no
metropolitan menageries, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with
OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY
FREE!!! We are also relaunching with a brand new layout and format for our 70th
issue. We hope that you like it.

other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these
ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who - together with an
orange kitten named after a song by Frank Zappa 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 kitten?
