The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
I have been asked to try and type this in rhyme
I would probably be
better doing it in mime
"It's tradition, it's Sunday, you must," Jon
said
So here I sit, in confusion, shaking my head.
It is not my forte to write as a poet
And once you have read this, you
sure will know it
But I hope you will give me at least eight out of
ten
For trying at least. I would be happy then.
It is two in the morning, I thought you should know
I've been yawning
for hours, it's really time I should go
to sleep with the dogs, and cats, in
a huddle.
Because my brain is beginning to muddle.
It's the last day of posting
These blogs that I'm hosting
I will see
you again soon
I hope you like today's tune....
Issue 66 of The Gonzo Weekly features an EXCLUSIVE Corky Laing
interview, various tributes to the Norse Gods' last battle Ragnarok, exclusive Hawkwind Space Ritual rehearsals, the
return of the mighty Six Foot Three, Clepsydra box set details, news about Hawkwind live this weekend, a pork pie fight, and more
news, reviews, views, interviews and packets of fruit chews (OK, no special chewy sweets, 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 COMPLETELY FREE!!!
To make sure that you don't miss your copy of this and future
issues make an old hippy a happy chappy and subscribe http://eepurl.com/r-VTD
PS: If you are already a subscriber but think that you haven't been
receiving your copies please check your spam filters. For some reason known only to the Gods of the internet, some e-mail
programmes automatically count the magazine as 'spam' probably because it comes from a mass mailer. Either that or they are just
jealous of our peerless content.
* 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:
* 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. 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?
