Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.   Who made it ok for employees to mentally and physically check out with the arrival of the holidays?  Plus…Is it better to lie to someone or figure out a way to walk away? 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…

Released in 1990, this iconic album was the music industry’s first major response to the AIDS epidemic. Featuring contemporary pop performers like U2, Sinéad O'Connor, The Neville Brothers, and Annie Lennox, reinterpreting the music of Cole Porter, one of the great American songwriters of the early 20th century, the album sold more than a million copies worldwide. In his book, Red Hot + Blue, John S. Garrison explores the powerful intersection of music, activism, and personal memory through the lens of this iconic 1990 album .More than just a tribute to Cole Porter; RED HOT + BLUE was a groundbreaking project that united artists across genres and generations in the fight against AIDS. Released at the height of the epidemic, the album’s fusion of contemporary and classic sounds served as both a fundraiser and a platform for activism raising millions of dollars for HIV/AIDS charities. Capturing both the joy and melancholy that accompany love during turbulent times. It re-imagined those iconic songs - including “Don't Fence Me In,” “Every Time We Say Goodbye,” “Night and Day” - not just to celebrate the composer but also to offer a shared vision for survival. Garrison writes, “the album needed to jar people, to urge them to speak openly about what it meant to love even when the virus made connection increasingly more precarious. Porter’s music gives voice to a man unafraid to announce his desire for affection, even from those who rejected him and even in a world where many people disapproved of his kind of love. I can’t imagine a more fitting voice for the music industry’s first major response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.” In his book, Garrison reflects on his life story through the lens of Porter's life and music to illuminate the emotional landscape we all navigate in the search for love.

"From dozens of Bigfoot sightings in the San Juan River Valley to a deeply disturbing UFO visitation near Satan's Butte to a poltergeist-like haunting of an office in Window Rock, the cases I investigated led me to one inevitable conclusion: There is so much more to this world and our vast universe than we can imagine, and we have only begun to scratch the surface." - From the Introduction In THE PARANORMAL RANGER: A Navajo Investigator's Search for the Unexplained (William Morrow; on sale 10/1/24), Stanley Milford Jr. delivers a gripping memoir of his investigations into perplexing cases of the paranormal and unexplained over the course of his illustrious career serving the Navajo Nation.Raised with a deep-rooted connection to the supernatural due to his diverse heritage grounded in Navajo and Cherokee traditions, Milford's upbringing uniquely positioned him to navigate the eerie realms he would encounter when he joined the fabled Navajo Rangers. Equal parts police officers, archeological conservationists, and historians, the rangers are responsible for overseeing the massive 27,000-square-mile Navajo Nation, where mundane tasks blend seamlessly with extraordinary occurrences. When Milford first became a ranger, he handled everyday cases such as cattle inspections and domestic disputes, but that quickly gave way to more bizarre cases of mysterious livestock mutilations, spine-chilling encounters with skinwalkers and cryptids, UFOs, and malicious hauntings.
