THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS A DAY OFF

It's Sunday, so I do my best
to take advantage of the day of rest
which usually means I go to bed
and spend the day asleep instead
However there is just one task
which of myself I have to ask
before I retire into headspace time
I write the Gonzo blogs in rhyme
This week we start here (don't you know it)
with a visit to Thom as the World Poet
who writes much better verse than me
click on the link, and you will see

Stephen Stills' new band 'The Rides'
are bloody good, man, and besides
they play a particularly gritty blues
there's tour dates here, read the news

The Cabinet of Curiosities,
has never featured coffees or teas
but no (in case you need the leverage)
here is a King Crimson beverage

Whether you stay at home or are a cool jetsetter
I recommend the Gonzo Weekly newsletter
which gets better still as you have seen
it's now a full fledged magazine
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/08/gonzo-weekly-magazine-37.html
And now the Gonzo Track of the Day
you know what I mean, Wayhay!
here is a Frank Zappa song
(don't worry it is not too long)

And what have we in store right now?
It's an interview with Yes' Steve Howe
a man who plays a cool guitar
I listen to it in my car
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/08/steve-howe-yes-real-weird.html
The next story has Rob Ayling as well as
His son Hunter and Patrick Moraz
and tantalising hints of a
new project soon to see the light of day
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/08/they-ayling-boys-meet-patrick-moraz.html
And that's all the poetry I'm allowed
I think McGonagle would be proud
and now as I've already said
I'll finish up, then back to bed


*  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?
