Gonzo Weekly #303/4
THE WE TOOK THE WRONG STEP YEARS AGO ISSUE
This is a very Hawkwind-centric issue: Graham talks about the latest tour,
and John goes to see them at The Palladium. But we also have Richard Seizing
Lambeth Bridge with Extinction Rebellion, Alan critiquing The Beatles reissued
White Album, and interviewing Playground Theory, Carl and Geordie go searching
for zombie locations, and Jon bumbles on about Digitiser the Show and a book
that lifts the lid on the New Labour government of twenty years ago.
#Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, AND Friday
Night Progressive, AND there are columns from Kev Rowlands, BUT C J Stone, AND
Mr Biffo AND Neil Nixon, AND Roy Weard AND the irrepressible Corinna are on
hiatus. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and
rock wallabies who've blown a fuse (OK, nothing to do with the relatively small
macropods who are having electrical problems, but I got carried away with things
that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stickat. 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 59 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?
