Arroe Collins Like It's Live

Courtney Gains has appeared on screen with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, but his musical pedigree is equally impressive. Courtney first hit the LA music scene in the 90s with his band The Gathering, which was a part of the coffee house/unplugged scene. In 1999, Gains put out a solo record featuring the song “Journey Man.” The song was produced by Guns n’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum, with Slash on lead guitar. The critically-acclaimed tune was in heavy rotation on college radio. In 2006, he fronted the band Benny Bliss and the Disciples of Greatness, which spun off a rock and roll anti-technology road comedy film.
In November 2009, Ripple Street was formed with Courtney on guitar and vocals. Once satisfied with the original material they worked up, Ripple Street recorded their first EP in 2012. In 2017, the band put out their first full-length LP. Working with such musicians as Derek O’Brien of Social Distortion (drums), Michael Hatley, and Greg Hetson of Bad Religion (guitars), the ‘cruise grunge’ sound was born. Courtney recently worked with Bruce Kulick (KISS) and Doug Blair (W.A.S.P.) on “Dreams in The Witch House”- an HP Lovecraftian metal rock opera. In 2021 Gains put out an acoustic five-song EP, Acoustic Gains Vol. 1. Several of Gains’ songs were featured in films. In 2024, the ep Safe Haven was put out on digital

and CD formats through Fake Fangs Records. Safe Haven was written, recorded, and produced by Courtney Gains.
Gains achieved success during the 1980s with a variety of roles in films such as Children of the Corn, Hardbodies, Lust in the Dust, Back to the Future, Can't Buy Me Love, Secret Admirer, Colors, The 'Burbs, and Memphis Belle. Later films include Sweet Home Alabama, Dorm Daze (which he also executive-produced), Desolation Canyon, and a cameo in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. In addition to his film work, Gains appeared in the video games Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger, LA Noire and guest-starred on episodes of various television series, including Seinfeld, Monk, In the Heat of the Night, ER, JAG, Nash Bridges, Diagnosis: Murder, Charmed, Alias and My Name is Earl. Most recently, Gains voiced the role of Labrat on GTA: Los Santos Drug Wars, a two-part online video game. He also stars as Twig, a banjo-playing militia member in the 2023 action horror The Wrath of Becky, which premiered at SXSW.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   If terrestrial radio is constantly accused of being on its last breath, why are people still trying to play the game?  Plus…Gordon Lightfoot, why did this singer songwriter always have two microphones on stage?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

TAYLOR SWIFT: THE DEBUT YEARS by Washington Post reporter Emily Yahr (St. Martin's Press; October 6, 2026; $31.00 hardcover), the definitive account of the first decade in Nashville that built Taylor Swift's career and solidified her prominence in the music industry.For Taylor, the years that rocketed her into pop superstardom began in the country music capital of the world. It was here, starting at 13 years old, that Taylor wrote and produced her first hits with her earliest circle of collaborators. Now, through original and never-before-published interviews with more than 100 people, encompassing those who worked with Taylor to those who regret saying no, Yahr delves into how Taylor truly began her journey to unprecedented success.Over the years, the public has heard the same handful of anecdotes about how Taylor got her start in Nashville, knocking on doors with her demo CD and singing at the Bluebird Cafe. This book goes much deeper with new details, tracing the highs and lows and twists and turns. Taylor's origins are more complex than a high schooler tapping into a new generation of country fans. It's a story of taking risks, like walking away from powerhouse label RCA to strike out with an unknown, unfunded new label, and of trusting her instincts when no one else did.and what happens when a teenager tries to chart a new path in a town built on tradition.Writing alongside industry veterans after school, Taylor's songwriting ability set her apart, even as some gatekeepers weren't convinced that she could get young listeners to care about country music. But what overwhelmingly comes across is in these interviews is admiration at how Taylor started off with a vision and her work ethic, unparalleled to almost everyone else at the time, and the driving force to bring that vision to fruition.This book isn't just for Taylor fans. TAYLOR SWIFT: THE DEBUT YEARS also pulls back the curtain on the music industry of the early 2000s, and specifically in Nashville, which operates under its own set of rules. Yahr takes readers to iconic locations like Music Row, the Grand Ole Opry, and inside songwriting rooms and executive suites that can make or break an artist's career. She delves into the importance of country radio and the grueling promotional multi-city tours to meet the DJs that not only helped launch Taylor's career but the careers of many country music stars.Taylor's decade in Nashville shaped her as a musician, even after she left the genre. TAYLOR SWIFT: THE DEBUT YEARS is a book that celebrates Taylor's transformative career right around the 20-year anniversary of her debut album, as well as a revealing and absorbing deep dive into the country music industry and how it has evolved - and how after Taylor, it was never the same.
