THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN CELEBRATES

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

Last week a charming American girl
read my stupid doggerel
giving me the best compliment I could use
comparing me to Dr Seuss

 

He was a genius, I'm just fat
and couldn't have invented the Cat in the Hat
but even though I'm completely shattered
thank you my dear, I'm really flattered

 

We've been travelling all week and its been no hardship
doing family stuff and filming Jefferson Starship
and since we came home on Thursday night
our schedule has been rather tight

 

I'm sure that you know what I mean
we've produced a full length magazine
and now I must make a confession
I've also played two recording sessions

 

And so it's Sunday once again,
so me and my imaginary hen
sit down and have a jolly time
doing the Sunday blogs in rhyme

 

When I was young I often heard
about the fabled Oozelum bird
which moved so fast when you thought you'd gottem
that they disappeared up their own bottom

 

And I tell you what guys, here's the deal
I know just how that bird must feel,
and I probably need a magick elf
to help me catch up with myself

 

I have an awful lot of things to do,
and I'll do them all I promise you
I'm a tired overweight hippy man
but I'll do them as fast as I can

 

I don't want you to think that I'm complaining
I look outside for once its not raining
and I hear the singing of the frogs
and cheerfully do my Sunday blogs

OK boys and girls, it's that time of the week again. Issue 63 of the Gonzo Weekly magazine is out. It features the Pink Fairies reunion, an exclusive interview with Mark Murdock, the man who teamed up with members of Brand X to make one of the most extraordinary albums I have heard in a long time, a jolly cheerful chat with Stu Nicholson from Galahad, about their exciting plans for the year, Jefferson Starship in Wolverhampton, tributes to the late Pete Seeger, and more news, reviews, views, interviews and kangaroos (OK, no Macropoda but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's COMPLETELY FREE!!!

PPS. If you are already a subscriber but think that you haven't been receiving your copies please check your spam filters. For some reason known only to the Gods of the internet, some e-mail programmes automatically count the magazine as 'spam' probably because it comes from a mass mailer. Either that or they are just jealous of our peerless content

 

*  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?
