The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
I am ridiculously stressed at the moment with all
sorts of things on my plate. But I am afraid that this is the way it goes. I
have always done too many things at once, and when you add to that my impending
Grandfatherhood, the death of an old friend, and the fact that one of my
nieflings is seriously ill with clinical depression and another close family
member has a painful illness, I suppose this was not the best week to decide to
come up with a completely new format for a 70pp magazine in just five days. And
that is just the start. I have a whole lot more on my plate that I can't and
won't talk about in public, so folks please be gentle on me. These are very
exciting times both for the CFZ and the Gonzoverse, and indeed everything else
with which I am involved. Give me another week and all sorts of groovy things
are likely to have been revealed. So be patient ladies and
gentlemen.
We are working hard on the next issue of Gonzo
Weekly, which - errors and omissions notwithsanding - will be out later today in
a swish new format. It has interviews with Tim Blake, Craig High from the
Psychedelic Warlords, Cyrille Verdeaux goes native, plus Acid Mothers Temple,
Joey Molland rembers working with John, George and Ringo, Mice on Stilts, Steve
Hillage and more news, reviews, views, interviews and and London Zoos (OK, no
metropolitan menageries, 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!!! We are also relaunching with a brand new layout and format for our 70th
issue. We hope that you like it.

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?
