The Gonzo Daily: Monday/Tuesday
Hindemith/Rick Springfield/Yes/Rick Wakeman/Tony Ashton/Thom
And so it is Monday. There are an awful lot of things happening this week,
but I find myself utterly uninspired to write about any of them. I hope,
however, things will sort themselves out in the end. They usually do.
And now, here is the news:
THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Paul Hindemith - Strin...
RICK SPRINGFIELD IN THE NEWS

Gonzo Magazine #229
THE MERCURY GOES INTO RETROGRADE ISSUE
I feel like one of those disaffected US Postal Workers who climb the water
tower in the middle of the township and take potshots at starangers with a high
powered assault rifle. But unfortunately my wife won't let me have a high
powered assault rifle and there is no water tower so I will be having ice cream
instead. However, first I have to tell you about the new issue of this
remarkable little magazine of ours: Part Two of Jeremy’s EXCLUSIVE interview
with Larry Wallis, Alan has arty hijinx in Lithuania, John looks forward to
Record Store Day and other stuff, Richard profiles Warren Haynes, and Jon is
wary of peculiar children...
Groovy huh?
It’s all free!
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Friday Night Progressive, and
Strange Fruit. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard,
Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. 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!!!

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?
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. 
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
