And now I am on the want again. It is time, once again, for me to remind
you all about this year's Weird Weekend featuring our very own Steve Ignorant,
sponsored by our very own Erik Norlander, compèred by me and the return of
Nuneaton's Mr Entertainment, Barry Tadcaster with his pal Orang Pendek, and
featuring a whole cornucopia of high strangeness and cerebral silliness. It
would make me very happy if I could sell some more tickets..

THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
Gonzo Magazine #190
In this week’s bumper countercultural issue we interview Erik Norlander
about his excellent new album Surreal, John watches Jefferson Starship, Doug
attends the same event and waxes lyrical about the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair,
Alan muses on the Free Stonehenge Campaign and raves about Jimmy Cauty’s ADP
Riot Tour (yes, that is Rockman Rock of the KLF as was), we send Martin "The
Gardening Club" Springett to a desert island, Jon raves about G P Ching,
remembers the seventies, and eulogises the new XNA album, and Biffo gets
involved with Pick’n’Mix!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, and Friday
Night Progressive. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy
Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon although the irrepressible Corinna is taking a week
off. There is also a thrilling and slightly disturbing episode of Xtul. 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. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

John Blackwell, Paul Simon, Carole King, Prince, Strange Fruit, Friday Night

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

* 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 56 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?
