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?"

OUR CENTRAL JEWEL IS OUR BREATHING SPACE
I can't breathe with 100,000 customers crammed together in Covid days and nights
barring Austin citizens from access to our unique Zilker Park.
I can't breathe when 100,000 pairs of feet are trampling over grass
I can't breathe when high volume noise pollution disturbs our neighbors as well
I can't breathe when profit, not pleasure is the story they tell
Austin,Texas has inadequate public parks and gardens for her million tax-paying citizens
Why deny our many diverse communities access while subsidizing profit making enterprises?
Rewilding is just the beginning-restore balance and harmony as well
and -while allowing access to Austinites, deny any profit-making enterprises
from displacing we who pay these high taxes for use of our too-few parks and gardens..

12-09-2021 – SHOW 427 – Squirrel Flower


Strange Fruit is a unique two-hour radio show exploring the world of underground, strange and generally neglected music. All shows are themed and all shows set out to give the most hardened of sound-hounds some new delight to sample.

The show is also unique in providing homework for undergraduate students on North West Kent College’s Foundation Degree in Professional Writing (who dig up many of the odd facts featured in the links between tracks).

Neil Nixon, the founder and presenter of the show has released a book about rare albums for Gonzo Multimedia.

The show is broadcast on Miskin Radio every Sunday from 10-00-midnight.

Gonzo Weekly #469/70

THE LIGHTS GO OUT ISSUE
This magazine continues to go off on strange tangents that I never expect, but I am very happy to see it do so. What is in this week? 120 pages of live without the internet, Bill Drummond, Status Quo, Luke Morgan of The Highliners, Reken, The Black Mavericks, David Hockney, Simon Palmer and the Salts Mill, The Ruling Class and The Perambulator, and oodles more.
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney and Friday Night Progressive, AND Merrell Fankhauser, Mr Biffo, Puls8 Radio, and the Real Music Club, AND Strange Fruit, there is a column from Kev Rowland, and C.J Stone but Mr Biffo, and Neil Nixon, are on hiatus. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and dibblers who have got the blues (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are listening to the new Bob Dylan album, 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!!!
..And the last few issues are:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you to the Gonzo Weekly dropbox. The first 69 issues are archived there as well. Information is power chaps, we have to share it!

FREEDOM TO VOTE vs FILIBUSTER
Co-operation in community vs coercive competitive complicities
Activism vs Passivity. Joy over Fear. Happiness over Harm.
Every body benefits when every body plays together.
Imagine chess or sports with every body on the winning side?
Yoko One designed a chess set when all the pieces are one color.
In Japan,all trash bags are clearly transparent.This shames excess waste.
In Germany,100%of each car is recycled.In Holland and Bristol,tidal energies are used.
In Australia,solar energies power outback telephones.Recently,200,000 pounds of plastic waste
were recycled from the Pacific Ocean. Volunteer beach patrols keep community beaches clear and clean.
Solutions await us.Your engagement essential.Voting is just the beginning. Participatory democracy is beckoning
Vision into action...

...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.
