THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS UP AGAINST IT

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

Yesterday was very much a musical day. In the afternoon we were visited by Babs and Gruffy from North Devon reggae band Malachite. It was Babs' birthday so cake was consumed. I only had a tiny snippet but still got a glorious sugar rush. Then in the evening along came my old mate Martin "Dickie" Dowding, who put some masterful Funkadelic style guitar down on a piece that I am working on. And later on I finished the autobiography of Ratfink from Alien Sex Field, and wrote him a letter about it. More will be revealed soon. Saskia is unwell today poor lass, but Andrea will be in the office later. I can't remember if I told you this, but the wife of one of the recent CFZ volunteers is convinced we are running a cult. The fact that I am a scruffy sod with long hair and a beard, and the office/grounds are continually manned by pretty girls between the ages of 13 and 40 probably doesn't help; I must look like a Devonshire Charlie Manson.

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?
