The Gonzo Daily - Friday
The weeks go by so quickly, I can hardly get my
head around it. It is Friday again which means that Corinna and I will be doing
this week's Gonzo Weekly for much of the day. My diabetic appointment yesterday
went much better than I had feared, and I came home greatly relieved. The
biggest news, however, is that my first Grandchild (due in September) is going
to be a GIRL!!! Apart from that everything pales into
insignificance.
This week's issue of Gonzo Weekly is here. I was up
until 4:00 on Saturday morning finishing it, accompanied (except for the last
ten minutes) by my wonderful wife and helpmeet Corinna. This issue (up at www.gonzoweekly.com) features - amongst
other things - Rick Wakeman at the Royal Albert Hall in exclusive words and
pictures, interviews with Keith Levene the founding gunslinger of both The Clash
and PiL, René van Commenée (aka Mr Averell) and David Jackson (ex of Van Der
Graaf Generator, and the legendary Italian prog band PFM. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and golden mantled tree
kangaroos (OK, no arobeal macropods from Irian Jaya, 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!!!
The full list of artists covered this time is: Rick
Wakeman, Roger Daltrey, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Wilko Johnson, Galahad, Ginger
Baker, Keith Levene, Clepsydra, Iona, Erik Norlander, Steve Ignorant, Beatles,
Marillion, Strange Fruit, Canterbury Sans Frontières, Sub Reality Sandwich, Bob

* 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: www.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?
What has Corinna's column of fortean bird news got to do with Cryptozoology?
