THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS CONFUSED

We were told that Leo (or sometimes 'Buttons') was supposed to have been kept in for up to five weeks before we let him out. However, he has so far escaped seven or eight times and always came back. So yesterday we gave up the unequal struggle; we bought him a collar with a name tag, and a bell to warn birds, and let him out. It was obviously the right decision because he has been popping in and out ever since, and is much calmer.
 
Last night I watched a Mott the Hoople documentary on BBCi Player, followed by a collection of so-called New York Rock. How they managed to claim that John Cale is a New York rock artist when he is Welsh baffles me, but there was a very good version of Venus in Furs which kept me happy. Sadly no Richard Hell (with or without the voidoids). But I am waffling, so, on with the show....

*  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:
 
 
* 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 (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and a not very small orange kitten (who isn't) 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 the orange cats?
