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:
And so I sit in my study,
brush the bluuurgh from my eyes,
and I eagerly wait
for a conceptual surprise
but of course it won't happen
things don't work out like that
so I sit at my desk, and I talk to the cat

his new collaboration with Spirits Burning, Richard is shocked by a hologram of
Roy Orbison, Alan goes to see Toots and the Maytals and Lee 'Scratch' Perry,
King No One and Beth McCarthy, and Rob goes to see Corky Laing of Mountain,
while Graham brings us up to date with the world of Hawkwind.
#Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, AND Friday
Night Progressive, AND there is a columns from Kev Rowlands, though Neil Nixon,
C J Stone, AND Roy Weard AND Mr Biffo AND the irrepressible Corinna are on
hiatus. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and
red kangaroos who've lost their shoes (OK, nothing to do with the largest extant
macropods who are in a quandry with regards their footwear, 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 59 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?
