...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

EVERYWHERE I GO-ART
FOLLOWS
Staring out from HOW ARE YOU ?frog
murals
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH !on the wall of
Joe's Cafe
Many a temporary shrine to those killed
by cars-
plastic flowers and a cautionary RIP(on
South Lamar)
Then the tagging-of trains,vacant
buildings,streets
Territoriality stretches as far as an
aerosol spray can
High above us-on bridges and
freeways-daubings by outsiders
with messages that only Art can
carry-the crocheting of bike racks,
making sweaters for lamp posts and
poles/the changing of road signs
like (temporary)DAVID BOWIE Street when
Bowie died
Art affirms and attacks
simultaneously-it defines us and defies us
Soon new graffiti will challenge and
confront us.Soon we will be provoked
into being fully ALIVE!
