THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN MANS THE BARRICADES

The Gonzo Daily - Monday
 
This looks like it is going to be a massively complicated week. I have people here nearly every day plus recordings to be done, books to be published and deathless prose to be banged out. My hopes of becoming a curmudgeonly old hermit are receding rapidly (or at least the hermit bit). On top of all that, for various reasons, this weekend we are massively changing the format of Gonzo Weekly, so there are bound to be complications on that score. Thank God that I have my ever expanding band of little elves who assist me through my peculiar life (or my 'Robot Army of the Undead' as I think of them in my more megalomaniac moments. I would also like to reassure people that I have not forgotten about the 2014 CFZ Yearbook. It will be here eventually I promise. And I always keep my promises in the end.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This week's issue of Gonzo Weekly is here. Hooray!!! It has some unpublished Pink Fairies stuff from over 20 years ago, an encounter between Keith Levene (ex The Clash and PiL) and Graham Inglis (who lives in my spare room) a new Auburn video and a report on The Musical Box plus Acid Mothers Temple, Space 1999, Hawkwind, Eric Burdon, and more news, reviews, views, interviews and and long nosed potoroos (OK, no rabbit sized macropoda, 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!!!

*  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?
