Birth of Gonzo

Basement apartment
Bill and Sue Cardoso
Globe Magazine editor
After hours hipster hangout
Telling a lively tale
Softball game
Banging a double
Hard slide
Taking out second baseman
A troubled fellow
Landed on top of me
Sobbing
It was gonzo man
Total gonzo
Bill perked up
What’s that you say Charles
Gonzo
Yeah gonzo
Home run
Over the wall
Outah here
Soon gonzo this and gonzo that
First published Boston Herald
My review of Ten Years After
Szep cartoon in the Globe
Bill talked him into it
Total Gonzo Band
Me on drums
Jimmy Midnight guitar
Blaze signing
Love Potion Number Nine
One gig
Barry got a gonzo vanity plate
Yellow Duster
Soon his short was totaled
Smashed and bashed
Still gonzo
Last of the Mohicans
