THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

  

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and 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 within 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?"

CURIOSITY vs PERSEVERANCE vs INGENUITY
Supernovas vs Hypernovas.Branson vs Bezos
Billionaires vs Multi-millionaires.Space flights vs suborbital flights.
Space Race the new America's Cup.Competition vs Co-operation.
As above,so below.Virgin vs Amazon.Brand names vs Trade marks.
Charisma vs Clever marketing.Manned flight vs Test flights.
Performance vs rehearsal.Super-rich booked their flights -
to say they have sailed into space.They forget Challenger Space Shuttle.
They forget the O Ring.Sights and sounds of space can be simulated.
Survival cannot.

...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.
