Dear Liz, RSS Is For Rockers

Email This Entry

Posted by Alex Williams

Liz -- Sigh. Still no RSS feed. I'm crushed. Perhaps if you ever see the beauty of that orange and white icon you'll write one of those edgy ballads like Polyester Bride. Maybe it'll be about how you met someone new. What you discovered. The other world that slips into your self as you become more and more immersed in the stories, the sadness and the absurdity of the bigger picture.

We need rockers. Dave is cool. He's definitely the original RSS rock star. But, let's just say... it's a bit different with you. Yes, Dave does sing. He goes on tour. He podcasts. He's a jolly geek.

But you, you're a rocker. And rockers know how events can change their lives and the people they love. And that orange and white icon iis full of events that lead to new places in your mind and your heart.

Who knows what song it will make you want to sing. Who knows what you will write. And how many will find a new connection after hearing your podcast for the first time.. I'll tell you this. This fan will love it.

Really, Liz, RSS is for Rockers.

Always here to help.

Alex.
