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)

I LOVED JOHN LENNON'S WORDWORKS
"Spaniard In The Works""In His Own Write"
with a Spike Milligan surreality ,tainted with bent
and so richly 1964 people almost forgot it was poetry
June 4 Sotheby's will make another killing  from selling originals
It is June 2014-long dream nightmare soup from long gone 1964 John
whose estate gains nothing from these auctions/which deceive the living
via selling dead artifacts that are more than belong to one man-
John Lennon belonged to everyone...His abundant creativity we celebrate
when buying the works he made in fresh youth-not estate sales from publishers
who kill two birds with one auction.Let the millions that will be made go to his children.

They also were his creations.They need to benefit from such posthumous sales..

...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.
