I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN


We're back and playing Catch Up now,
after just a week, it's amazing how
much stuff to do has accumulated
far more than I'd anticipated

But it's Sunday, which means (you all know it)
it's the day I pretend to be a poet
and to some people's bemusement,
do the blogs in rhyme for my own amusement

My family were all eating tea, and watching something on TV
back in 1970-whatever (my memory is not quite THAT clever)
when I first heard Barbara Dickson sing
now here's some news (and everything)
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/02/barbara-dickson-gateshead-revisited.html

Chris Squire talks about the lure,
of the road and the new Yes tour,
and how there'll be a new CD
which is pretty good news to me

And now something that you should know
there is an Ant-Bee video,
which once again breaks all the rules,
and I think that it's pretty cool

And now we go to Austin City,
where the poets are great and their words are pretty
for our daily visit (don't you know it)
to the home of Thomas the World Poet

And now it's the groovy Track of the Day,
you know what I mean (wayhay)
He wears a hat and his hair is wavey
Ladies and Gentlemen... ALAN DAVEY

Now, you people must understand
I'm a massive Eric Burdon fan
and I am really pleased to see,
he's got a smashing new CD

In the annals of the music biz
there are few that compare to our liz
she sent us this nice link for fun
in Lincolnshire Auburn are number one

And finally we must count the cost
and say goodbye to those we've lost
we are missing him, and you know we've missed her
a soul singer and an Andrews Sister

*  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: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* 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 53 who - together with his orange cat puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish and batrachians. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
