Rob Ayling writes: "Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

WATERFRONT/STREEETCAR NAMED DESIRE O Elia!-
GOLD
DIGGERS OF 1933 by fabulous Busby Berkeley
i
will watch them over and over-LUST,CAUTION!
even
modern creations wake me up from viewer fatigue
Life
is more than repertory-more than retrospectives/replays!
Definitely
more than musical distractions-my friends alert me
to
any movie that dares to steal our eyes attentions
away
from war/recession/austerity into conscious celebration
I
want to sit through PEACE&PROSPERITY again!
Please
re-screen those people's favorites-
LIBERTY,EQUALITY
,FRATERNITY(a French fave ,often cut with guillotines!
and
if you can find a version of EVOLUTION (shortened version of
REVOLUTION!
I
will be happy to sit through the full version
Apparently
that film lasts more than Andy Warhol-
it
screens all life long!
