The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
Up with the lark and to bed with a Wren, as my
Uncle Roger used to say about his days in the Navy before WW2. I was up
unfeasibly early this morning as I had an appointment in Bideford for a blood
test. Being a conscientious fellow I decided that Archie needs to be habituated
to the new car so we took him with us. He spent the entire journey mithering and
whining, so I was right about the need for habituation, but unwise in my
decision to inflict a barrage of peculiar noises from a little dog upon Corinna
and myself at such an unpleasant time of the morning. In the post today came 3
dvds of the series that Prof. Bryan Sykes did for Channel 4 about mystery
hominids. I blagged them from Icon Films, because I don't actually have a TV
that works for anything apart from DVDs. Having just finished two more
autobiographies of people who were insiders in The Beatles business affairs
during the 1960s, I am looking forward to my chat with Joey Molland
(ex-Badfinger) later this week,because there is a lot of stuff that I want to
clarify...
This week's issue of Gonzo Weekly is here.
Hooray!!! It has lots of Rick Wakeman stuff, a Cyrille Verdeaux auto-interview
and a report on The Musical Box plus Acid Mothers Temple, Dr Who, Hawkwind, Eric
Burdon, Wreckless Eric, and more news, reviews, views, interviews and sheep
having a snooze (OK, no sleepy sheepies) 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!!!

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

* 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, 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 cat?
