THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS TEACHING GRAHAM HOW TO SUCK EGGS

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
 
Sometimes I feel like an old fashioned vicar reading out the Parrish notices. It is a strange and mildly unsettling day. Graham and Jessica and Danny have gone to Exeter to commence work on my house there, cleaning up the mess and making it habitable for new tenants, who hopefully will not turn it into a pigsty. Tammy overslept and is presently trying to get a lift to work. I was supposed to be telephoning Eliza Carthy for an interview this morning at 11, but telephone issues mean that I am doing it this afternoon as well, and Julia the psychic who was supposed to be arriving this afternoon isn't. It is just one of those days. Much love to Robert in Exeter Hospital and to Daevid in the antipodes, and to Rob who was in court yesterday.
 
 

The Gonzo Weekly #117

Daevid Allen, UK, Eddie Jobson, John Wetton, Peter Banks, Sidonie Jordan, Empire, Jon Anderson, Yes, and Hawkwind fans had better look out!
 
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#117) is available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It has Daevid Allen, we have exclusive words and pictures from last weekend's Drones 4 Daevid benefit/celebration show in Brighton, and Doug Harr explains about the final farewell tour from the band UK. There are shows from Strange Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive, and the titular submarine dwellers are still lost at sea, although I have been assured that they will hit land again soon. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons trying to choose (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials having difficulty in making choices, 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/…/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit…
 
* 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 55 who - together with an infantile orange cat 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 infantile orange cat?
