Thursday
We truly seem to be in quite a productive phase here at the moment.There
are all sorts of interesting things happening. This weekend's magazine is well
underway, and I am editing the first episode of the relaunched On The Track.
Gonzo have just released Tony Klinger's smashing novel 'Under God's Table' which
is a political thriller that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as
books by Nelson deMille and Frederick Forsyth, and whilst on the subject of
books, let me recommend Ronald Murphy's cracking new book 'On Vampires' which is
available (inscribed) from
http://www.ronaldmurphy.org. It truly is
an outstanding book, and I urge you all tocheck it out.
And now, here is the news:
Dr. John Interview at UConn
Daevid Allen & Robert Wyatt in the Film ‘Playa de ...

We ponder the horrific events of last Monday, Jon waxes lyrical about
Wreckless Eric, John goes to see Ryley Walker, Alan isbeing Green in Denmark,
Graham talks about Hawkwind, and Corinna is as groovy as ever.

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.

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?
