The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
https://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/
And so things get ever more peculiar. The quote of the day is from
Professor Sir Simon Wessely, former president of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists, who said of the Jeremy Kyle Show: 'I think it should be
dropped, actually. It's the theatre of cruelty. And yes, it might
entertain a million people a day, but then again so did Christians
versus lions'. In my humble opinion, this sort of televised bloodport
contributes majorly to the vicious, nasty society we are rapidly
becoming. I truly hope that the pilgrims in CERN did manage to
Immanentise the eschaton, because God knows we need it to work.

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.

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?
