THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS HIS NOSE STUCK IN A SLIDING DOOR OF PERCEPTION

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

What a long strange trip it was! Finally, my body has got used to the Gila Monster venom which regular readers will know I have been prescribed to try and make my kidneys work overtime in order to treat, if not cure, my diabetes. Truly, you couldn’t make this crap up. Even I couldn’t! It’s taken about three days for my body to get use to it and for me to stop hallucinating. I suspect that it is all the fault of the abuse that I gave my poor beleaguered central nervous system back in the day, that even a very heavy cold can send me on a minor psychedelic experience. Believe me, this is no where near as much fun as it sounds! However, I’m back to what passes for normal now. Before we leave the subject of my inadvertent attempts to use lizard saliva to open the doors of perception (and don’t you just wonder who the heck came up with the idea of using it to treat diabetes?) the other night when the nurse informed me that I was now being given this medicine as my current regime, I asked the nurse whether this meant that at the full moon I would get covered in scales, and become a giant man-lizard, and roam the streets of Bideford fighting crime. She looked at me completely dispassionately. “No”, she said I couldn’t hide my disappointment.

 

BY THE WAY DUDES AND DUDETTES: if you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock journalist, or indeed your inner cryptozoological scribe, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock journalist, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.

 

* 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 56 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and a small kitten totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, 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, and the adventurous kitten?
