"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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!"

Fw: mark twain, his mother, and slavery -- 10/9/14
GOING,GOING,GONE GIRL
Modern
movies require massive media saturation
Their
existence requires advance previews,
texting,Tweeting,Press
conferences,stories
planted
in the newspapers and magazines
"Retro-feminism
in GONE GIRL"
"Differences
between book and film treatment"
"Was
the ending satisfactory?"
"What
did the actors/Director/audience feel?"
"Will
there be a sequel?If so-what actors will return?"
Eliciting
curiosity in an overstimulated audience
with
competing releases seeking admission
means
that each movie must allocate as much for promotion
as
it does for creation.Budgets of millions,smiling film star TV
interviews,
revelations
and spoilers to actually get folk to watch a new original movie in
2014.
I
did.It was worthy.I want more!
