The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme
It's Sunday so again its time
to do the daily blogs in rhyme:
Those of you who follow me,
will probably be surprised to see,
there'll be two lots of blogs today
cos Graham and I are going away
to do two days of interviews
(Its not really what I would choose)
in London which is horribly far,
You wanna know why? Read the Daily Star:
See you on Wednesday, darlings
ciaou....
Forgive me for banging on about our webTV show, but it matters a lot to me,
and I would be grateful for an many people as possible to see it, and spread the
tidings of it far and wide:
But now, here is the news:
THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

THE MARK HIS WORDS ISSUE
Gonzo Grande Fromage Rob Ayling talks frankly about his friendship with
Fall leader Mark E. Smith who died this week, Alan concludes his surrealistic
exposition featuring Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Nico and Alice Cooper amongst
others, Neil explains all about Sharon Tandy, and Graham brings us up to date
with Hawkwind as well as going into the studio with The Space Pharaohs Arizona’s
leading Hawkwind tribute band. And meanwhile, Jon talks about the end of the
world!
Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, AND Friday Night Progressive,
but Mack Maloney is absent this week due to problems beyond our control. The
columns from all sorts of folk including Neil Nixon, Roy Weard, C J Stone, Mr
Biffo are on hiatus this week, but we do have the irrepressible Corinna. There
is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and southern
dibblers who have gone for a snooze (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who
have probably got hangovers and have decided to have a little rest, 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!!!

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock
journalist, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos
please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.
* 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: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk
* 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 58 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile
orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one
totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she
squeaks, 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 Archie and the Cats?
