The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
It's Sunday, so it is the usual time
to do the
day's blog posts in rhyme
I am doing them late (between me and you)
cos we
didn't get up until half past two
but hey, it's Sunday, the day of rest
and
usually I do my best
to spend the day at my own pursuits,
but today it
really suits...
..me to take the day quite slowly, but
no
accomplish without doing my nut
all sorts of stuff I need to do,
so, that
was my poem, be seeing you!
I am very proud of the latest issue of Gonzo
Weekly, and for once we finished it at a sensible time on friday night and you
can read it at www.gonzoweekly.com.
This week's issue features a conversation between Jaki Windmill and the late
Mick Farren, an interview with the mighty XNA, a feature on Crowded House, news
about some recently uncovered Robert Calvert video, proof that Progressive
Rockstars have a sense of humour, and a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and brindled gnus (OK, no specialised ox-like antelopes, 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 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:

* 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?
