THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN STOOPS TO CONQUER

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
 
Sundays are the nicest days of the week
at least for this particular freak
I don't have to get out of bed in time
and I do the Sunday blogs in rhyme
 
And people tend to respect this thing,
the post doesn't come and the phone doesn't ring
and for once me, my mother in law, and wife
can quietly get on with our life
 
And I have a holiday in my head
which usually means I go back to bed
accompanied by a book and dogs
but first I have to post the blogs...
 
 
GONZO WEEKLY #85
 
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#85) is here to read or download at www.gonzoweekly.com. It has Raoni Metuktire aka Chief Raoni and Clearlight on the front cover and features an interview with Cyrille Verdeaux in which he discusses his work with this legendary eco-warrior and Amerindian chief. Merrell Fankhauser recounts an odd story about John Lennon and UFOs. There is an interview with Paul May about the forthcoming Atkins/May Project album, Doug Harr visits Queen in San Jose, and Rosie Curtis goes to a cosplay convention, whilst Jon muses about The Happy Mondays. There are also new shows from Friday Night Progressive, and from the multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and newts in shoes (OK, no unlikely shod caudata, 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!!!
