The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
Half a bottle of brandy and 14 hours sleep, I feel
much more able to face the world...
Ageing Hipsters, Tony Palmer fans, Rock and Roll
Revolutionaries, ocket Scientist fans, Erik Norlander devotees, Ozzy Osbourne
afficianados and Rupert Bear fans, had better look out! The latest issue of
Gonzo Weekly (#96) will very soon be available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/.
It has the 1971 Oz Obscenity trial on the cover,
and an exclusive interview with Tony Palmer inside, as well as an exclusive
extract from the new edition of his book 'The Trials of Oz'. Doug Harr meets the
massively talented Rocket Scientists, and Jon is surprisingly reassuring about
the future of the music business. There are also new shows from the
multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night
Progressive. (The massively talented Jaki and Tim will be back again next week,
as will their submarine and Maisie the cow). There is also a collection of more
news, reviews, views, interviews and long nosed potoroos (OK, no weird
antipodean macropods, 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: 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?
