THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS UNACCOUNTABLY EMOTIONAL

The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday

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

I was woken up this morning at an unseemly hour by a representative of what my Father used to refer to as “the good old Honkers and Shankers”, what used to be known as the 'Hong Kong, Shanghai Bank' and is now generally known as HSBC. They claimed that there had been suspicious activity on my account, but as the so-called ‘suspicious activity’ was a monthly subscription to a service which I have paid for every month for the last five years, one wonders why they did so. However, I would much rather that people checked, rather than handing out my money willy nilly.

However, although I am not the slightest bit racist, and don’t care what colour, creed or nationality people are as long as they don’t make a nuisance of themselves, I do wish that when I am woken up by someone first thing in the morning I do wish that they were fluent English speakers, and that their accent wasn’t so strong that I had to ask them to repeat themselves every other sentence. Doesn’t that make some degree of sense?

And here is the news:

The first of a two part exclusive interview with the legendary Larry Wallis by Jeremy, Doug says Goodbye to the irreplaceable John Wetton, Richard goes to see Live Dead ‘69, John remembers Gary Duncan, and Jon looks at another Beatles book, and reveals a secret from his murky past, and there is more, lots more...

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 a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown 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 Archie and the Cats?
