THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS DEAF

Yesterday was a long and strange one. The highlights included starting Mick Farren's excellent new book 'Elvis died for somebody's sins not mine', which particularly amused me, because for many years my little ensemble started off our sets with a ditty about Albert Goldman called 'Elvis died for our sins'. Tuly Senor Farren and I are singing from the same Emma Goldmanesque hymnbook. Another highlight was guffawing my way through the first four episodes of season five of 30 Rock, whilst Corinna and Mother sat there impassive not getting any of it. Am I the only person that finds this show massively funny? And the third highlight was receiving Carl Marshall's expedition report from Borneo. I really am most awfully proud of these young men of the CFZ who go out and do intrepid stuff. Yes, there were downsides to yesterday, but I am in a good mood this morning and intend to stay there, so I won't go into details.

*  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 (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. 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 cat?
