Gonzo Weekly #379/80
THE "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER" ISSUE
In this totally tardy issue we say goodbye to Andrew Weatherall who provided the soundtrack to so much of our lives. Alan chews the fat with Tom Vague, Jon eulogises the new Star Trek: Picard series and reads about Dr Strangely Strange, Iccy chats to Xentos ‘Fray Bentos’, Steve explains how to look after butterflies wherever you are, we have the latest from The Gardening Club, Graham brings us up to date with Hawklwind, and we join PAART with their animal rescue mission. And much more...
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney and Friday Night Progressive AND Merrell Fankhauser, but no sign of Strange Fruit this week, there is a column from Kev Rowland, although Mr Biffo, C J Stone, Neil Nixon and Roy Weard, are on hiatus. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and antichinuses who have lost their shoes (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are searching for their footwear, 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!!!
