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?

GAUCHOS & GAULEITERS
ISAURA UNBOUND
Authorized Version vs Apocrypha
Comparing Matthew,Mark,Luke,John  with the Q Scroll
Like ratio decidendi vs obiter dicta
Like a story ,told by an idiot,blithering/eccentric
Like listening to the wind 's typewriter pun/ctuation
Like a Book is a Biblos is a Bible for believing
Like who knows what was in the mind of the original writer?
Like how much does a commentator know?
Like who  is the true genius-the academic grammarian- or the street wise dialectican?
Like who reads anymore?Like is this not history?
Like exegesis as an end in itself.Like "the road goes on forever
and the party never ends".Like ULYSSES.Like the Day After Bloomsday
Like who reads articles to the very end?

...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.
