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?"
ROLE MODELLING
on the catwalk of the Internet
Well-we have CELE$BRITIES &MOVIE STARS
Next level-LIFESTYLE SELLERS,POP SINGERS &MEDIA "PERSONALITIES"
Followed by INTERNET INFLUENCERS
All of these have groupies,stalkers,burglars following their fame
If you are to live the high life virtually,
then sell advice or cosmetics or Nike shoes
capitalizing upon your NAME FAME GAME-
"Fame -puts you there where things are empty"(Bowie/Lennon)
Where what you are selling is yourself-
or your IMAGE as boosted by Agents of Perfection
who seek LUCRATIVE MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES for you
You become a BRAND NAME(Oprah/Ye)with a FRANCHISE
Here is where millionaires become billionaires
Unless and until lawsuits for harassment DILUTE YOUR BRAND(Depp)
"Hollow is the head that wears a Crown(Lager)"
Madison Advertising Avenue becomes another episode of MAD MEN
You become GENERIC."Elvis has left the building"
Only your imitators (Marilyn)keep your (KARAOKE)Brand alive!
You are long dead.Your VIRTUAL AVATARS live on..
No one can tell the difference(BLADE RUNNER)
