THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS FEET

The Gonzo Daily: Thursday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

Today I went back to the podiatrist, half expecting to be told that the ulceration on my heels had got so bad that amputation was imminent. I took Graham with me for moral support, and partly so he could independently be told about the danger signs to look for. Well, the upshot is that my only brushes with leglessness for the foreseeable future will be recreational ones. The ulceration on my left heel (which was the worse, by far) has healed, and although my right heel has degenerated a bit it is still relatively easily treatable. So that is good.

 

Thank you to everyone who has sent good wishes and healing vibes. We are not out of the woods yet, but we are well on our way. Now I can get back to the important business of writing silly doggerel about Donald Trump. A Republican President Elect with a name that is a childish euphemism for farting is truly a gift from the Gods. Woooot!

 

And now for the news................

There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons outside zoos(OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at.

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.co.uk

 

* 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 57 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two small kittens, one 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. 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 kittens?
