Leslie West!


It has come to the attention of Gonzo that the legendary guitarist Leslie West has been ill recently
Leslie who in addition to enjoying a sucessful solo career has also led the equally legendary rock band Mountain for the last forty two years.

Leslie underwent life-saving surgery on June 17th, when his leg was amputated above the knee.

Gonzo MD Rob Ayling was shocked when he heard of Leslie's hospitalisation

"Leslie has been not only a friend for a number of years but we have also released a number of albums together over the years both with Mountain and in a solo capacity. Whilst it was a shock when I heard of Leslie's hospitalisation I know that Leslie will pull through this with his customary determination and massive sense of humour. In the meantime I am sending him my very best wishes along with those from everyone here at Gonzo for a quick recovery"

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
