The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
I slept for fifteen hours last night
but I've
still not had a smoke
a Jon Downes without cigarettes
is a very sleepy
bloke
but I've got a rescued kitten
causing havoc in my home
and
there's a medium with a migraine
in the next room watching her roam
and
I'm still waiting for my broken hard drive to be restored
but with all this
other stuff going on I doubt if I'll be bored
Boomtown Rats, Midlake, Beatles, George Harrison,
Apple Scruffs, Roy Weard, Dogwatch, That Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, Jon
Anderson, and Yes fans had better look out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#131) is
available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has The Boomtown Rats on the front cover together with some exciting news about
a hitherto lost video from 1978 inside. There is a look at Midlake by Doug, Jon
examines a book by one of the Apple Scruffs, and discovers the sad story behind
it, and talks about a very peculiar week dogged by Mercury Retrograde, whilst
the legendary Roy Weard continues his regular column. Xtul gets even more
peculiar, and there is a radio show from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive.
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!!!

chaps, we have to share it!
* 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?
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
