THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IMPRESSES

Goodness it's Sunday once again,
so I sit down, take up my pen
(or keyboard) and I find the time
to write the Gonzo blogs in rhyme
 
"Why?" you might ask in bemusement,
it's purely for my own amusement
but enough of this, on with the show
hang on to your seats, it's time to go
 
We start off with a groovy scene
The Gonzo Weekly magazine
has reached issue #41
now read it, folks, it's lotsa fun!

There is a slight technical blip
for readers who are technically hip
and are used to using Google Chrome
better read this post before you moan

The Gonzo Track of the Day (today)
is not a Gonzo song guys I must say
that it gives us all a good life lesson
which is something that you weren't expectin'

Now lets go to Austin City
where the poems are great and the rhymes are pretty
to meet Thom Woodruffe the World Poet
he's a really great rhymesmith (we all know it)

Each week our cabinet of curiosities
is filled with strange things sent to me,
and I don't have to tell you twice,
this week's stuff is rather 'Nice'

And now I have from me to you
a Barbara Dickson interview
a real exclusive I can say
(you know what I mean WAYHAY!!!"

And whilst on this subject:
Herewith an idiotic comment which appeared from one of my adopted nephews on Facebook:
Matthew H C Osborne: Jonathan, having interviewed Barbara Dickson, do you know her so well?
 
And that's enough poetry for now
but we'll be back next week (and how!)
 

*  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 54 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?
