Music Is Good For Your Heart

I just came across this article on the CNN website: The power of music: It's a real heart opener.

There you have it -- music is good for your heart. It may even help keep you young. What the article doesn't say is if there's a difference between live music and recorded or digital music. I think it's fair to extrapolate that going out and enjoying a live band might just edge out recorded music because it includes the added benefit of socializing and enjoying the live music experience.

Not long ago I read about a study which concluded that people who go out to concerts, plays and other live / real-time arts events live longer and are generally healthier than those who don't attend these events.

The choice is yours: stay home, get fat and old or go out and rock n roll yourself healthy. It's a no brainer, really.
