Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… In this present place of now are people questioning God? Plus…how are people survive yet another increase in food prices? 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…

"Bruce Vilanch, a storyteller without peer, has written a tell-all . . . on himself! And it's hilarious! He's finally coming clean and owning up to his part in creating some of the worst television of the twentieth century, and that's saying a lot. There's no one like him. As they've been saying since I discovered him as a cub reporter at the Chicago Tribune, when you're in a pinch . . . Get Bruce!" -BETTE MIDLER Bruce Vilanch is known as a go-to comedy writer for award shows, sitcoms, and top-heavy variety specials, but he has also been responsible for quite a few of the worst shows ever put on television-legendarily bad productions. Some of his work lives in infamy-The Star Wars Holiday Special, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White at the Oscars, and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. How did these ever seem like a good idea? Well, everyone has screwed up a few times, or had their work screwed up by others. It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time is a lifetime reflection of what Vilanch has experienced, learned, forgotten, dismissed, and embraced in decades of working in show business, specifically the south forty acres known as comedy. It involves very famous people and people who were not very famous but should have been. And it explains  to the person in the audience who says to himself, once he has gotten his jaw off the floor, "'How did this ever get made?" Don't we all want to know?

Michael Walsh's new book A Rage to Conquer is a journey through twelve of the most important battles in Western history. As Walsh sees it, war is an important facet of every culture - and, for better or worse, our world is unthinkable without it. War has been an essential part of the human condition throughout history, the principal agent of societal change, waged by men on behalf of, and in pursuit of, their gods, women, riches, power, and the sheer joy of combat. In A Rage to Conquer, Walsh brings history to life as he considers a group of courageous commanders and the battles they waged that became crucial to the course of Western history. He looks first at Carl Von Clausewitz, the seminal thinker in the Western canon dealing with war. He then moves on to Achilles at Ilium, Alexander at Gaugamela, Caesar at Alesia, Constantine at the Milvian Bridge, Aetius at the Catalaunian Plains, Bohemond at Dorylaeum and Antioch, Napoleon at Austerlitz, Pershing at St.-Mihiel, Nimitz at Midway and Patton at the Bulge with a final consideration of how the Battle of 9/11 was ultimately lost by the U.S. and what that portends for the future.

Doc is a new medical drama starring Molly Parker (House of Cards, Deadwood) as the hard-charging, brilliant Chief of Internal Medicine Dr. Amy Larsen, who suffers a brain injury that erases the last eight years of her memory. The accident leaves her with no recollection of patients she’s treated, colleagues she’s crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves and the tragedy that caused her to push almost everyone away. But with the immense loss, comes a second chance to do things differently. Doc is inspired by a true story and based on the hit eponymous Italian drama series. This emotionally charged, life-altering-and-affirming medical procedural also stars Omar Metwally, Amirah Vann, Jon Ecker and Anya Banerjee.

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

San Diego-based metal band Fraxures is set to unleash their latest
single, “Blackheart Serenade” featuring the powerhouse vocals of
Travis Neal (formerly of Divine Heresy) and the thunderous drumming of
Fred Aching (Kings of Thrash / Powerflo / Bulletboys). With a lineup
that blends raw intensity and technical precision, Fraxures continues
to carve its own path in the modern metal scene, delivering crushing
hooks and sinister melodies.

Following the success of their 2022 EP Firewater Sessions, produced by
Billy Graziadei of Biohazard, Fraxures solidified their reputation for
seamlessly blending aggression and melody. The EP showcased the band’s
dynamic range, setting the stage for their next evolution. Firewater
Sessions was a statement of intent that the band is now ready to
expand upon.

Blackheart Serenade, mixed by Joel Wanasek (Ice Nine Kills / Machine
Head) and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More / Cynic /
Sepultura), offers a new glimpse into the haunting energy that defines
Fraxures. The song’s punishing riffs and catchy melodies signal a new
chapter for the band, both dark and electrifying. Fraxures is in the
studio finalizing its upcoming full-length album, Hexes, which
promises to push its sound to even greater depths.

To accompany the release, Fraxures will debut the official music video
for “Blackheart Serenade” produced by Holly West (Dead Groove /
Zepparella) on BraveWords on February 6. The band will bring their
ferocious live energy to Brick By Brick in San Diego on February 8th.
Fraxures is ready to stake their claim as a rising force in modern
metal.
