I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why are we endlessly trying to be more than what we are?  Sleepless nights aren’t just an American thing…it’s global!  What are we doing to ourselves?   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…

One of the oft-asked questions when it comes to UB40 lore is how these young British born lads became multi-continent icons playing reggae-based pop. Though the Campbell brothers (Robin, Duncan and original lead singer Ali) were sons of famed Scottish folk singer Ian Campbell, they chose not to follow in his footsteps but play the reggae music that the major swell of Jamaican immigrants brought to Birmingham in the late 60s and 70s. In their multi-cultural hometown, the band members were also surrounded by Indian film music, including Bhangra and pop/Bollywood scores. The music they created - featuring insightful sociopolitical lyrics, tight reggae rhythms, dubby instrumental passages, sax solos and Jamaican scat vibes - became a quick favorite of a young, mainly blue collar and student crowd. Their music offered more depth than that of the many punk and ska and reggae influenced bands on the popular 2Tone label of the time.Finding their footing as a band during an era of skyrocketing unemployment during the early days of Thatcherism (a term referencing the conservative policies and political philosophy of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher), the band was purposely named for the UK government's Unemployed Benefit, Form 40 (which was incorporated in the cover artwork of their #2 UK debut album Signing Off), and their fourth UK Top Ten hit "One in Ten" (1981), written about UK's record number of unemployed, formed part of the soundtrack accompanying the race riots erupting in places like Brixton, Handsworth and St. Paul's in Bristol - hard pressed, inner city areas with large immigrant communities that had found themselves on the frontline in resisting the right wing policies of Margaret Thatcher's government.

Endlessly people make the choice to call their day a bad day. It's so easy to plaster such a label on our efforts of just wanting to stop. I live by the mantra of how winning is a choice. We all have hard troublesome days and moments but how do we escape their mighty mighty grip? It's in your attitude.

Listeners wanted a show where Alexa should ask me questions.  That's like pulling teeth from a toothless tiger.  So we ended up talking about old school radio.  Why?  Nobody listens like they used to and it makes me sound extremely old bringing things up like cue burns and 45's.  Plus...when your religion is being challenged.  How can we talk about this without offending listeners?

AFib occurs when the upper chambers of the heart beat in an uncontrolled manner. The condition is currently on the rise, affecting more than 55 million people globally. AFib is a progressive disease, meaning that early diagnosis and treatment are imperative.
