The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
Last night an impromptu soirée kind of caught me
unaware
so I woke up at nearly noon having slept in my armchair
I
remembered that the clocks had changed but really didn't care
I feel a little
fragile but I suppose that's only fair
On sundays there is a thing I do at round about
this time
I've made it my own duty to write the Sunday blogs in
rhyme
purely 'cos it amuses me to commit a literary crime
and nobody would
see it if I did the blogs in mime
After hours of messing about which nearly resulted in me reprogramming
the computer with a hatchet, the new issue of Gonzo Weekly, in its swish new
format, will be out imminently features interviews with Andy Colquhoun and
Cyrille Verdeaux, a new video from Auburn, news from Acid Mothers Temple and the
Dalai Lama. There are also features on Rocket Scientists, Clepsydra's private
show, what happens when The Psychedelic Warlords collaborate with Michael
Moorcock and a look at music written by Jews who died in the death camps. 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.

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

* 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?
