"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!!"

MILES DAVIS - WOOD AND GLUE
WHAT ABOUT THOSE L P SCRATCHES?
The little humps and bumps that add an extra layer of random sounds
to every trumpet jazz help precious by collectors?He adds wood glue
in circles and spirals.Flattens it out so it is smooth all over.Waits overnight.
Peels off the layer of plastic that clings to the tracks..Waits
Until finally,the needle comes down,and extra static disappears!
Folk remedies like this vital for the audiophile-whose stacks of LPs
await restoration and reclamation like patient patients in a waiting room.
Your ears deserve the best that Muse can offer!Pete Townsend's tinnitus
came when he came too close to the Source.LPs may be superior over CDs
but time wins over Edison cylinders and 78 shellac.unless and until-
equivalents of wood glue restore your aural history-back to Now!
