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?
WE ARE LIVING INFORMATION
FIELDS
These are extended via
connectivity
They compound like village
gossip
They have results in our material
world
via both content and delivery.More of
us
use phones and computers than ever
before.
This changes the very world we are a
part of.
It also changes the nature,content and
servicing of information
Hence newspapers
fold(magazines,too)
And online must provide instant
worldviews.
Now we visually see brushfires ,riots
and school shootings
yet we do not see what is not
shown..Editing and faux news
is as old as propaganda ,and as
dangerous.
May this information flow freely,so
your decisions
are based upon active
participation,not passive false trust
in "Trial by headline/Trial by
deadline..Trial by speculation"(Daevid Allen)
Dedicated to Garrison Keilor and Al
Franken.
