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 Tom'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?"

CURE,CURATION  or CURETTE? 
Retro@the (Cleveland)Rock n Roll Museum
Nashville for Country /Las Vegas for replay
for those whose careers ended yesterday 
Chicago Blues Museum,New York rap
Everywhere,music lovers are looking back.
"White folks play soul music that we abandoned 50 years ago"
Future has a name-Heritage Bands ,or Solo Tours 
Karaoke and Tribute Bands keep the past alive 
It is hard to make future music when only the past revives 
Even politicians use past HITS as they stride 
over the wishes of creators whose loyalties they cannot abide
When the music stops,it will not be a Museum-

It will be Muzak,soundtrack of stillborn dreams..

...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.
