The Gonzo Daily: Monday/Tuesday
My wife is a wonderful woman. After months of me badgering her she has
managed to make a pretty fair approximation of quesitos - delicious Puerto Rican
pastries which are both sweet and cheesy. They are something that I have eaten
with great gusto on both my trips to he island, but singularly failed to find
elsewhere. However, the cheese filling is not quite right. This recipe
https://www.kitchengidget.com/2017/10/02/quesitos-cream-cheese-pastries/
talks about 'cream cheese' but it doesn't seem the same as the cream cheese
currently available in the UK. Ideas folks?
In the meantime I am on a Bob Dylan jag currently nearly a week old. And
William Zanzinger (who wasn’t actually called ‘William Zanzinger ‘, and only
died ten years ago) has just killed poor Hattie Carroll for the umpteenth
time.
Toodle-pip
YER EDITOR SEZ:
THE DIGITAL PRAYER FLAG
You guys out in readership land recently did massive amounts of praying for
my wife Corinna. And that now - at least at the moment - she appears to be
cancer free. I am convinced that these two things are related. A prayer flag
(Lung ta) is a colourful rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain
ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas, used to bless the surrounding
countryside and for other purposes. I believe something similar happens with
positive vibes transmitted electronically, and - having used it to such good
effect with my dear wife's condition - I want to try it on a larger scale. I am
still trying to work out the details, so watch this space.

Blessed be.

And by the way chaps and chappesses, a trip to the Jon Downes megastore may
seem to be in order:
Meanwhile I continue to pretend that I am a popstar, because now I have
sold eight whole copies of my new album Coldharbour. If I continue at this rate
I will get a silver disc sometime at the beginning of the next millenium.
Coldharbour, by the way, can be found here:

I think it is really rather good, but then again I would say that wouldn't
I?

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, three other cats, 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 elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of
social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention Archie and the Cats?
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
