Gonzo Weekly #391/92

Gonzo Weekly #391/92
THE SOMETHING WITCHY ISSUE
www.gonzoweekly.com
In yet another singularly non-standard issue for singularly non-standard times we say goodbye to Little Richard, learn about the virtual Stonehenge Festival, flip through the pages of a 52 year old issue of Beat Instrumental... with comedy results, Alan collates Covid-19 stories from around the world, Tony Klinger muses on his demise, we go on animal rescue with PAART. And is there more? You can bet your arse there is...
And there are radio shows from Friday Night Progressive, AND Merrell Fankhauser, but no sign of Mack Maloney, Canterbury sans Frontieres or Strange Fruit this week, there is a column from Kev Rowland, although C J Stone, Mr Biffo, 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!!!

...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.
