THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS...

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
It is sunday, one of the only times
I amuse myself by writing rhymes
and reading them back to my two dogs
as I sit and do the Gonzo blogs
We start off with Thom Woodruffe who
writes pooetry better than you know who
his nom de plume? Why, don't you know it?
he calls himself the name Thom the World Poet

And now the Gonzo Track of the Day
is something soulfulo I have to say
what is it? Have you heard the news?
it's John Mayall playing the blues

And on the subject of the blues
here's another piece of news
a kickstarter campaign you see
for an Eric Burdon documentary

And now we have a groovy scene
the Gonzo Weekly magazine
has passed a milestone my dear
we've been going now for a full year
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/11/gonzo-weekly-magazine-52.html
And now a bloody great box set
from King Crimson, maybe their biggest yet
according to the thing's I've read
it celebrates their album 'Red'

And last but not least is Judy D

now I'm going off to drink a highball
'cos I can't think of ow't that rhymes with Dyble

And that's enough of my stupid rhymes,

*  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 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?
