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?"

WOODSTOCK 2021
SO I MET ELLIOT LANDY IN WOODSTOCK(THE VILLAGE)
His photos were on every wall of every art gallery and Cafe
He had photographed Woodstock Festival,Bob Dylan,The Band
and every 60s luminary to their advantage .His pix of Bob Dylan
became the cover of NASHVILLE SKYLINE,and he shared
more personal portraits of Bob's family and children.
I like Elliot-he had moved on from rock music photography
into more spiritual and eclectic areas of understanding.
He gave me his book of COLLECTED PHOTOGRAPHS
It was personally signed-with the admonition to
KEEP THE POETRY FLOWING! Which i do-
and commend him and his photographs-to you..

...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.
