The Gonzo Daily: Thursday
And another piece of our shared cultural heritage is gone. Greg Laks's
death was announced by his Manager in a post to his official Facebook page:
“Yesterday, 7 December, I lost my best friend to a long and stubborn battle with
cancer. Greg Lake will stay in my heart forever, as he has always been. His
family would be grateful for privacy during this time of their grief.”
And here is the news:
Farewell Greg Lake RIP

THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Greg Lake - Still You ...
Mad Daevid Allen Interview 1975
THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
The Gonzo Daily: Friday/Saturday
Thank you very much to everyone who wrote to me commiserating with our loss
of the only breeding colony of Rio Cauca Caecilians in the UK. I truly
appreciate your sympathy and kindness. We are all devastated, and I am afraid
that this and the journalistic fallout following Greg Lake's untimely death has
put paid to my normal body clock for the whole week. A major visit from my
Russian friend Mr Smirnoff didn't help as much as I had hoped. I had to be up
early for a podiatrist appointment, and so I only had about an hour and a half
sleep last night. I am functioning today on coffee and adrenaline. But life goes
on. One has to pick one's self up, dust one's self down and get on with it. And
that is exactly what we are doing.

particularly nasty, . There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and pademelons outside zoos(OK, nothing to do with small marsupials

with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY

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 Archie and the Cats?
