Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Do writer’s and authors have favorite pens?  What’s their go to when it comes to getting the story out?  Plus why do we start a phone conversation with, “Hello.” 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…

An intimate look at the life and music of modern pop's most legendary figure, Taylor Swift, from leading music journalist Rob Sheffield. A cultural phenomenon. A worldwide obsession. An agent of emotional chaos. There's no parallel to Taylor Swift in history: a teenage girl who turns into the world's favorite pop star, songwriter, storyteller, guitar hero, live performer, changing how music is made and heard. An all-time great on the level of The Beatles, Prince, or David Bowie. Heartbreak Is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music is the first book that goes deep on the musical and cultural impact of Taylor Swift. Nobody can tell the story like Rob Sheffield, the bestselling and award-winning author of Dreaming the Beatles, On Bowie, and Love Is a Mix Tape. The legendary Rolling Stone journalist is the writer who has chronicled Taylor for every step of her long career, from her early days to the Eras Tour. Sheffield gets right to the heart of Swift and her music, her lyrics, her fan connection, her raw power. At once one of the most beloved music figures of the past two decades and one of the most criticized, Taylor Swift is known as much for her life beyond her music as she is for her hits-the most public of stars, yet also the weirdest and most mysterious. In the tradition of Sheffield's Dreaming the Beatles, Heartbreak Is the National Anthem will inform and delight a legion of fans who hang on every word from Taylor and every word Rob writes on her.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… While trying to repair or fix things up around the house, why do most projects never turn out the way you hoped?  Plus hidden anger.  Is it more dangerous than visible anger?

The youngest competitor, Jaukeem, is a mature 13-year-old from a small-town in Georgia. Going to church is his favorite thing, so much so that he even wakes up his mom to go. Everyone knows everyone in his small town, and Jaukeem has made a name for himself as "the little music man." What started as singing in church has now progressed to weddings, parties and local fairs. One of his breakout performances was performing at a Juneteenth festival in Greenville, S.C. Since then, people have contacted his manager (his mom) to book him for their events. Jaukeem has experienced some family hardships but maintains happiness and positivity through it all. His grandma has dementia, but he loves singing with her. Jaukeem doesn't have the relationship he wishes he did with his dad, but luckily, Jaukeem has a father-figure relationship with his uncle, Mario. He attends all of Jaukeem's performances and school events. Even though Jaukeem was only seven months old when "The Voice" premiered, he's been watching the show religiously for the past three years, dreaming of the day he could be a contestant.
