L.A. Times Music News RSS Feed

While reading the L.A. Times Music News RSS Feed, I quickly discovered that the “news” appeared to be mostly the hottest gossip about people in the music business. I am not saying that the gossip is a bad thing necessarily, but that is not really what I expected when I subscribed to the L.A. Times Music News. However, I probably should have seen it coming.

I read every piece of gossip from Katy Perry’s watermelon earrings to George Michael live with Dr. Phil. I bounced around in my Google Reader, and I read in depth only the titles that really caught my eye. The feed had enough content to keep me reading for hours on hand over a few weeks or so. While I was reading about the Jonas Brothers performance at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, I started thinking about all of the music I have liked in my life. I never really noticed how much I thought about things when I read. When I read, my mind wanders off into different random directions, kind of like I just did right now.

I really think that just reading anything helps me to think better and deeper into certain subjects that are usually related to what I am reading. I can only hope that reading enlightening subjects will help me to become a better writer.
