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?"

THERE IS A CELLIST IN AUSTIN CALLED STEVE BERNAL
Fortunate i am to have seen him,heard him,enjoyed him
But his play ethic is similar to Pablo Casals,Henry Miller and Ray Bradbury-
whereby the active application of energy to one's vestigial talents
allowed continuance of the life force despite numerical age
While preferring Tesla's genius,i admire Edison's persistence
It is possible to love  both Pablo Casals and Steve Bernal
It is necessary to rely upon sun,moon and stars
WHAT IS adds to our lives as much as WHAT MIGHT BE
I admire and respect ancestors and myths surrounding them
but still sit in circles with living peers-to learn more of WHAT REALLY IS..

...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.
