THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS SOMEWHAT OF A PATRIARCH

It was quite late when to bed I crept,

so today I badly overslept
now I don't care, cos its the one day
I get to doss cos its a Sunday

 

But I also have a jolly time
doing the Gonzo blogs in rhyme,
but not to blow your fuses, see
I do it cos it amuses me

 

We'll start with this (I think we'd better)
Issue 35 of our weekly newsletter
has just come out, I think you've seen
Its a really groovy magazine

And now I have something cool to say
my mate René van Commenée
has sent me a live video
recorded with Don Prston don't you know?

Mel Smith has died at the top of his game
and my world is never gonna be the same
he was one of the funniest men I knew,
I really miss him yes I do

And whilst on the subject of Mel, you know
I've dedicated today's video
to him and I ain't gonna budge
cos its on topic, it was written by Judge

Now our Cabinet of Curiosities that
features the most collectible of tat
has something connected to Pink Floyd
which might get a few of you annoyed

Now finally our poem of the day
comes from our old mate Thom, wayhay!
This man writes stuff far better than me
mine is doggerel, his is poetry

So that's about all for this week,
and so, so long from this particular freak

 

*  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?
