Cream, Kansas, Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Viv Albertine, The
Slits, Daevid Allen, Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes fans had better look
out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#123) is another bumper one at 92 pages
and is available to read at
www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at
http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Cream on the cover, and inside yours truly pontificates on the band's
legacy while Tony Palmer remembers filming their farewell show back in 1968.
Doug writes about proggers Kansas, and Jon critiques the new autobiography by
Viv Albertine ofThe Slits. We look at just a few of the many tributes to Daevid
Allen, and send the Gonzo Customer Service guy to a Desert Island. Neil Nixon
reports on an even stranger album than usual, Wyrd goes avant garde, Xtul gets
even more peculiar, and there are radio 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!!!

it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also

it at this link:
