The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme
It's Sunday so again its time
to do the daily blogs in rhyme:
As is my wont I got up late
but not in some hungover state
but it was warm and cozy in that area
beneath the duvet with my terrier
so Archie and I slept 'til gone three
just my Jack Russell dog and me
but at ten past three that naughty pup
started to growl when I got up,
cos although I had to do the blogs
he said that cold wet winters are not for dogs
Forgive me for banging on about our webTV show, but it matters a lot to me,
and I would be grateful for an many people as possible to see it, and spread the
tidings of it far and wide:
But now, here is the news:
Classic 1983 Prog Album By The Gardening Club Reis...

THE SLOWHAND SLOWHAND EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK ISSUE
This issue became a very Eric Clapton oriented one as Phil critiques his
new movie, and Dave Brock of Hawkwind remembers his relationship with the
legendary guitarist back in the day. In the meantime, Alan spins a surreal tale
involving Salvador Dali, and John and Yoko, amongst others, Ringo gets knighted,
and Jon talks about the mega successful and much scorned author
Dan Brown.
Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney AND Strange Fruit, AND Friday
Night Progressive. The columns from all sorts of folk including Neil Nixon, Roy
Weard, C J Stone, Mr Biffo are on hiatus this week, but we do have the
irrepressible Corinna. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and southern dibblers who have thought up a ruse (OK, nothing to do
with small marsupials who have read too much Roger the Dodger, 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 58 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?
