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:
Olivia and Corinna have just gone out,
to do Mother/Daughter stuff no doubt
and the countdown to Christmas seems to have begun,
and I am sat here in my study with Mum,
who is holding a struggling Archie in her lap,
we both think he is a delightful young chap,
and before whenever the ladies get back,
I have got to try editing the next On The Track
after I have finished posting all today's blogs
its a busy afternoon for me, and mum and the dogs

THE JOKER ISSUE
And so John goes to see John Fogerty and the Steve Miller Band, Jon muses
about the JAMMS and the Toxteth Day of the Dead, Alan wanders about the South
Coast of England with Gonzoid intent, Kev goes to see Sepultura and Death Angel
in New
Zealand, we critique a book about Gorillaz, and Carl and Geordie remember
Dawn of the Dead. And Graham brings us up to date with Hawkwind. And there's
lots of other stuff as well.
#Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, Canterbury Sans
Frontieres AND Friday Night Progressive, AND there are columns from Kev
Rowlands, and J Stone, BUT Mr Biffo AND Neil Nixon, AND Roy Weard AND the
irrepressible Corinna are on hiatus. There is also a collection of more news,
reviews, views, interviews and rock wallabies who've blown a fuse (OK, nothing
to do with the relatively small macropods who are having electrical problems,
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?
