I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It's sunday so its poetry time,
when I do the Gonzo Blogs in rhyme
and explain like a cracked phonograph
that I do it cos it makes me laugh
 
And now we all can shout 'Wayhay!'
we launched a new venture yesterday
and in case you thought it couldn't get better
here's the first Gonzo Weekly newsletter
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html
 
And now let's visit Texas Thom
a proper poet (unlike Jon,
who just comes out with puerile rhymes)
Thom comments on his life and times

And now I want to bring to you
a very poignant interview
with Annie Haslam (she's the boss)
before her recent tragic loss

Now let me tell you girls and boys
I've always loved Eric Burdon's voice
of his songs I never have got bored
and I really like his new record

Now you must really understand
that Jefferson Starship are a band
who are really so damn good and fine
here's a review from the Borderline

And finally for today's show
a perennial favourite don't you know
here's a picture of his golden cloak
and a Rick Wakeman interview (wot a damn nice bloke)

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 - imaginitavely - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link:

 Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
