The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme
It is Sunday, once again it's time
to do the Sunday blogs in rhyme
Why? Truthfully I'm not quite sure
but its custom and practise and its become lore
and part of my regular routine.
I'm a creature of habit if you know what I mean
even when (just like today)
I have bugger all to say
love on ya J

The spirit of the blues is alive, well and living in the Northeast of
England: we meet Auld Man’s Baccie, Jon burbles about Deep Purple, Doug talks
to Happy the Man drummer Michael Beck, Alan goes to Strummerville to discover
the legacy of Clash guitarist Joe Strummer, and we discover the frightening
dystopian world of G P Ching, and say goodbye to Bob the Mbuna cichlid.
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, Friday Night
Progressive. and 'cos there has just been a full moon Matthew at Canterbury Sans
Frontieres. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr
Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. 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!!!

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 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?
