The Gonzo Daily - Monday
And so another working week begins. I was so
tired after all the stresses and strains of last week that I spent most of the
weekend asleep. I think I was awake only five hours yesterday! I feel somewhat
recovered now and reasonably able to face whatever the week has to throw at me.
Daevid Allen has an operation tomorrow and all our love and healing blessings go
out to him. He is a dear sweet man, and I think very highly of him
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly is here to read at
www.gonzoweekly.com. It has the lovely Pam
Windo on the front cover and features an interview with her by yours truly. We
also have news of Galahad's new bass player (who is actually their old bass
player), Corky Laing gets an award, and a lot of people panic about Yes' lead
singer's throat. There are also new shows from the peculiar multiverse of Sub
Reality Sandwich, from Friday Night Progressive, and from the multi-talented
Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and high heeled shoes (OK, no specialist footwear, 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?
