...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.

THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

OTHER LANGUAGES(OTHER CULTURES)
WHERE YOU CAME FROM/WHERE
YOU ARE GOING TO
World in motion/crossing
borders(like convection currents
Swirls of
migrants(economic),refugees(war torn)
even temporary transient
visitors&tourists
add to the piquant human
soup we drink our DNA from
Consider restaurants-how
our diet changes
with
Ethiopian/Moroccan/Manchurian additions.
How soups and stews and
salads are enlivened via Thai and Vietnam
How our walled world has
plates delivered-and all culture is takeaway
Those we love speak other
languages/come from other cultures
They understand
context,history,resonance.They absorb and respond.
How lucky we are to travel
so far/to learn where we are
through the eyes of perfect
strangers..
