THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS BEEN UP ALL NIGHT

The Gonzo Daily: Friday/Saturday

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

For those of us who see British party politics as one of the most entertaining spectator sports on the planet, last night was perhaps the most exciting election since 1974. Corbyn did very well, May did very badly, UKIP disappeared and it is hard not to agree with the head of the SCP, who said that last night’s result makes all talk of a second independence referendum highly unlikely. However, in the end, because of the DUP, it might not have made a jot of difference. As Pete Townsend wrote many years ago;

“Meet the new boss,

the same as the old boss!”

Ummmmmmmmmm… Exactly the same as the old boss! As I write, Mrs May is putting on her best bib and tucker and preparing to go and kiss hands at the palace.

And, of course, Graham and I did our now regular piece of stupidity; exercising our democratic right to dick about on polling day.

And now, here is 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 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?
