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?"

WHY WE NEED HARMONIES
THEY ALIGN OUR BODHIS
Earworms and deep tracks
affect us viscerally/whether good or bad
You might jangle at the angle of death punk
or Rejoice the Herald Angels sing!-your choice...
The beauty of music is diversity. Even karaoke
gives cultural continuity and community sing-a-longs.
Chorale and folk tunes align pasts and presents.
Space jam rock the futures. You can sing to express
or shout your anger out. Signals go forth into The Great Silence
where every harmony is recorded in Akashic Records
and remembered by those who create, and continue...

...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.
