THE GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN HOPS AND SKIPS

The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
 
We are living in strange and disturbing times. Within the past few minutes I have received notifications of a plane crash in San Francisco, and military action between North and South Korea. As Jaki Windmill said to me at the Weird Weekend there is something wrong, and as I said to her, there is a bad moon rising. But all is not lost!
 
He has returned, I tell you! Rejoice!
 
Mr Biffo has returned, and we need him now, more then we ever did! Between 1993 and 2003 I read Biffo’s surreal nonsense on channel 4 Teletext everyday now, twelve years on, Digitiser is back at www.digitiser2000.com and the world is whole again.
 
All hail the Man with a Long Chin!
 
P.S Jessica thought Scranton K was hilarious, although she was not impressed with either Throbbing Gristle or Dr Jon the Night Tripper!

Billy Sherwood, Prog Rock History, Michael Raz, Free Festival, Roy Weard, Dogwatch, That Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes fans had better look out!
 
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#143) is available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It has Billy Sherwood on the front cover together with an interview with him the day after his first show as bass player of Yes inside. Jon muses about Princess Diana, Irish extremists and Weird Weekends whilst reviewing the hippest new comic. Doug reviews a book on the history of Prog Riock, John B-G talks about his memories of Free Festivals, Thom waxes all poetical like, whilst the legendary Roy Weard continues his regular column. And there is a radio show from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and water opossums with something to lose (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials planning to pray to St Anthony of Padyua for an intercession, 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 ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
