THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS H-A-P-P-Y

It's Sunday so it's time for me

to do the blogs in poetry
I know it causes some bemusement
but I do it for my own amusement

First we go to Austin Town
where a friend of ours still hangs around
his name is Thom (now, wouldn't you know it)
but everyone calls him 'The World Poet'

Now the Gonzo Track of the day, today
is by Manassas, shout hooray!
They really were a fantastic band
and I hope you all will understand

Now let's go to Glastonbury
to see Daevid Allen and a faerie
at the Avalon Faerie Ball
I wish I'd known it was on y'all

Now back to 1992
for a Jon Anderson interview
about the Union LP
which always sounded good to me

And now I have from me to you
a cool Peter Gabriel interview
which struck a chord in my addled head
so I posted it up here instead

Eric Burdon may be 72
but he still knows how to sing the blues
and he still sounds pretty good to me
and I really love his new CD

And I know my poems don't always rhyme
and I resort to assonances half the time
but its Sunday, and I have a cough
and I'm taking the rest of the afternoon off

Byeeeeeeeeeeeee

*  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. 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?
