THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS SENSIBLE


 
It's Sunday, there's a bracing breeze
and I feel as mad as a bagful of cheese,
but once again I find the time
to do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme
 
Why? purely for my own amusement
I have to explain to people's bemusement
and Rob Ayling lets me do it, so
I carry on (hohohohohohoho)
 
But let's start with the Gonzo Magazine
the grooviest publication that you've ever seen
issue 44 has just gone out
so, c'mon, give a joyous shout
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/09/gonzo-weekly-magazine-44.html
 
And the Gonzo Track of the Day today
is from Hugh Hopper (shout wayhay)
a man who really was the ace
at playing jazz rock fusion bass

Jon Anderson is a musical magus
and next week he's playing in Las Vegas
with 'Raiding the Rock Vault' can't you guess,
he'll be singing three classic songs by Yes

And now a band that we all dig,
the one and only Blodwyn Pig,
who (and I'll confide in you)
really deserve this ace review

Now be cheerful, don't be dour
Erik Norlander is going on tour
and I'm pleased to tell you mates
we have got the tour dates

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?
