THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS JOURNEYING THROUGH HIS PAST

The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday
I push myself too hard sometimes, and then complain when I feel unwell as a result. I did all sorts of things yesterday, and didn't sit down for our evening meal until gone ten. Then, when I finally went to bed I slept solidly for twelve hours and got up three hours later than I should have done. So I am in a bad mood and roaring around my study looking for people to blame, when - as Graham pointed out quite reasonably - all I really should do is buy an alarm clock. But forgive my whingeing, and on with the show...
The Gonzo Weekly #117
www.gonzoweekly.com
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?
