THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

OUT OF THIS WORLD (We Are)
SPACE MUSIC-Hawkwind/Eno/Phillip Glass
Digital camera transmitting from Mars
Satellites spying on each other's orbits
Photographing your license plates
(still they cannot find one Malaysian Jetliner
whose crew and passengers are out of this world
Branson sells millionaires on sub-orbital space flights
Privitising the Moon in advance(altered states!
NASA sold to the lowest bidder-SpaceX
Every Narco-state with a Navy and a Space Program!
Inner Space a Marketplace for Middle Age New Age Gurus
Higgs and Boson DNA Dolly Clone Robo-astronauts
We are all out of this world-our minds and comix

movies and science fiction a stone thrown ahead of us!

...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.
