THE FINALLY WE GET BACK TO WHATEVER PASSES FOR NORMAL ISSUE

http://www.gonzoweekly.com/

We talk to Doug Harr about his exciting new book about Los Angeles rock concerts, Alan meets Kelbassas, John remembers the Human Be In, Roy looks forward to another year with That Legendary Wooden Lion, our old friend Kev Rowland returns with more reviews, and The Famous Five give up the Booze plus Hawkwind news, The Gardening Club and gum boots full of more...

And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, and Friday Night Progressive. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons outside zoos (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, 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!!!
