The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
It's Sunday, I'm completely wired
I's been a
long week and I'm terribly tired,
but as I do each week I find the time
to
do my Sunday blogs in rhyme
I don't need to consult my year planner
to know
that my darling Shoshannah
my dearest older stepdaughter
has her birthday
today just like she aught-ter
So happy birthday Shoshy dear
and as you face
another year
know that your stepdad isn't too clever
but that he loves you
more than ever
This afternoon I'll take it as read
I'll take
Prudence and Archie and retire to bed
but before I go and cuddle dogs
have
a gander at the Sunday blogs...
The new issue of Gonzo Weekly, in a swish new
format, is here. It has interviews with Tim Blake, Craig High from the
Psychedelic Warlords, Cyrille Verdeaux goes native, plus Acid Mothers Temple,
Joey Molland remembers 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.

* 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: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html
* 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 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?
