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?"

PAUL McCARTNEY IN 2021 SHARED
"We largely kept to positive subjects in a light-hearted manner"
Concurrence is found with those world generations
impacted by this quartet of musicians from Liverpool.
Now what was once rough raw folk entertainment 
has morphed into a million-dollar industry..
Ringo continues with his WORLD PEACE Birthday
Paul McCartney continues to tour and release records
Memories of George are held on his birthday
And John Lennon's influence continues to grow today.
THERE ARE NO BEATLES-but The Beatles LIVE!
as evidence of the possibility of LOVE and PEACE being made manifest via music.
That we are all still deeply affected by a band that broke up fifty years ago
shows a need to fill that nihilistic emptiness that lists bad news, but ignores the good.
Learn your Beatles songs.So much more to explore-bootlegs,soundtracks,demos
And they all live now-because you pay attention..LET IT BE..LOVE ME DO!

...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.
