THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes: MY MOTHER RADIO
WHEN YOUNG,I WOULD COME
CLOSE
to the walnut wood radio cabinet with
twelve inch speakers
where mysterious honey voices would
pour forth mellifluous messages
(it was as if they were talking
directly to me!).Time grew-i learned COMMUNITY
as a village radio with
small(resources)-and voices familiar and tall
stories i believed(we called it NEWS).I
learned VOLUNTEER as a code
for those who dedicated
time,effort,energy,attention ,skills to make radio speak and sing.
I learned LOCAL .I learned DIVERSITY.I
learned HUMANITY as a shared world-
where there are many voices ,and most
never get heard.I re-learned RADIO 2016-
as this time/this space/this
possibility of change.I listen to radio every day.
Community radio.Volunteer radio.Our
radio.Your radio.All voices-honey ,bitter,sweet,strong.
This community is small.This community
is strong.
GONZO PEOPLE: Dave McMann
Dave died yesterday morning. As far as I am concerned the jury is still out on whether there is an afterlife, but if there is Dave has undoubtedly teamed up with Lemmy and Mick Farren and the three of them are now making a nuisance of themselves in paradise.
Our love goes out to Lesley
THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Hare Ram Hare Krishna by Krishna Das
Being Sunday I always post sacred music. The name of the deity may change, or even the deity Him/Herself but the spirit remains the same
PLAYLIST: SF#163
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 co-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.

Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, and Yes fans had better look out! This issue is

has changed in the past four decades, Alan reviews a book on American
psychedelia, we talk to Ve, and discuss Bill Drummond, and Biffo makes fart
jokes about American politicians. It doesn’t get much better than this!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit and Mack Maloney, Friday Night
Progressive, and we send the presenter of Canterbury Sans Frontières to a desert
island. We also have the latest installment of the saga of Xtul, and columns
from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the
irrepressible Corinna. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and pademelons ouyside zoos(OK, nothing to do with small marsupials
who have escaped from captivity, 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!!!
This issue features:
Gerald Durrell, Arthur Lee, Love, Joe Bonamassa, Liz Lenten, Auburn, Ozzy

CHOICES,MOMENTS,PIZZA
IF LIFE IS SLICES OF PIZZA
do we get a choice as to
toppings?
What if we like
pineapple?seafood?anchovies?
What if our religion hates
pizza?
What if others refuse to allow
pizza
either as a food item or a
philosophy?
You say "Pizza makes me
happy!"
You say"Life is a Take
Away!"
You do not want home
delivery
You prefer to hunt and shop your own
way
Some settle for frozen
pizza
Some live their whole lives
without
You know it is not pizza
I am talking about.
