THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN MIGHT BE

The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
 
Jpohn Shuttleworth/Steve Hillage/Joey Molland/Thom/Patrick Moraz
 
A band of chiefs! - alas! how few,
Since but the fleeting of a day
Had thinned it; but this wreck was true
And chivalrous: upon the clay
Each sate him down, all sad and mute,
Beside his monarch and his steed;
For danger levels man and brute,
And all are fellows in their need.
 
And now, here is the news:
 
JOHN SHUTTLEWORTH IN THE NEWS
STEVE HILLAGE REVIEW
JOEY MOLLAND NEWS
THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Patrick Moraz - Out In...
 
Gonzo Magazine #228
THE TRAVEL BROADENS THE WASSNAME ISSUE
 
 
Graham travels to Phoenix, Arizona to meet the Space Pharoahs, a Hawkwind tribute band in a most unlikely location. And they even get raided by the cops! Meanwhile Alan is getting all arty in Vilnius, Lithuania, John goes to see Cary Grace and Mauve la Biche in darkest Somerset, Richard Freeman writes about Tura Satana, Richard Foreman about Neil Young's Jeans, Doug writes about Fleetwood Mac, Jon rants on about Krautrock, and The Man’s Daddy has a whole page of Brexit Jokes.
 
Groovy huh?
 
It’s all free!
 
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Friday Night Progressive, and Strange Fruit. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons outside zoos (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, 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!!!
