THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
"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?"
YOUR DESIRE TO LIVE
changes everything.It marshals energies
you did not know you had.Willpower.Hope.Determination-
these are not found in any pill,potion or pharmacy.
They are found in the glint of eye,smile on face
and an ability to connect to all Life Force
in order to continue .Once those buried
had a bell to ring in case they woke up from a coma in a coffin
and wanted to let folk know they were still alive.
We all know people who have cheated death far too many times-
elders who thrive with no visible means of emotional support.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE@ALL TIMES
Just need to believe that this is true-for you..

"THIS IS NOT AN APPLE" (Rene Magritte)
'The Treachery of Images "comes when social credit/control authorities
continuously surveil students/citizens/random shoppers
in order to control their conduct via categorization.
Chinese use drone cameras small as birds.Universities and airports
use facial recognition and emotion recognition technology.
This is done without permission of those filmed/photographed.
Hence disappearing datasets (Duke University/Brainwash cafe)
now that crude categorization has been found inadequate.
This began with Amazon Mechanical Turk object recognition subsets(nouns only!).
Millions of images of "Plants,Geologic Formations,Natural Objects,
Sport,Artifacts,Fungus,Animals,Persons,and miscellaneous
led to 21,841 categories.Nineteenth century phrenologists had
posited that facial and skull shapes determined criminality.Such eugenics
have been updated by IBMs "DIVERSITY IN FACES".Still political .Still inadequate.
Lombrosian criminologists/anthropometric physiognomists fail us.
All representations are open to disputation and contestation.
Images are not concepts/appearances are not essences.
Sexuality and criminality are social &political categories-and they change
Art decides our relationship to the visual world.We decide our sex and choices..

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN @ ANYTIME
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN @ ANYTIME
&it will always be a surprise
Waking up in a storm is a miracle
We take for granted breath/and life
is a series of auditions for the alternative
Those close to the breath of a dragon
learn to appreciate silence,space,sanctuary and time
Those limited in any way-by age,faculty or access
grow different wings to ours.They fly secret paths,
opened via Imagination and Personal Power.
Wise if you live among dragons/to learn their prowl paths
Heaven and Hell are more than metaphors
And dragons mean more than Elementals

KEV REVIEWS RAZ
This is, as one might have figured out already, their ninth studio album and for those who wonder where the name comes from then they perform “Call Me Raz” which tells the story (basically no-one could pronounce Rescigno’s surname). It feels very much like a late Seventies album, the sort of music which came out of the pub rock scene in the UK combining with the punk ethic from the States. Apparently they have worked with Marky Ramone and that makes total sense to me from a musical perspective although the songs are somewhat slower.

In this peculiarly horticultural issue, Kev meets the legendary Martin Springhett of the Gardening Club, Doug critiques the King of the Wild Frontier, Adam Ant, Alan talks Tau, Steve investigates the music scene in Portugal, there is more animal rescue with PAART, Jeremy talks about Jim Bob and Alice Cooper, and Jon gets all paranoid and Kafkaesque.

There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and antichinuses who have lost their shoes (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are searching for their footwear, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
This issue features:
