Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

''The parade is a wonderful holiday gift to the 3.5 million people who witness it firsthand, as well as the 30 million television viewers worldwide. I feel so lucky that I get to be 'inside' the parade each year, that my dream of living along the route came true.'' - E.A. KAHANE For over 25 years, New Yorker E.A. KAHANE has photographed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from her third-floor apartment window on Central Park West at 64th Street. From this special vantage point, Kahane is able to capture with her camera an unrestricted view of the parade as it passes by her window. Her bold and beautiful images document every aspect of the festivities, including the clowns, Broadway stars, floats, marching bands, cheerleaders, cheering spectators, and the biggest stars of them all - the larger-than-life balloons of our favorite characters from TV and film. This fall, just in time for the holidays, Kahane's joyous photographs will be published in book form in Come Join the Parade! (October 15, 2024). She describes the exquisitely designed book as her very own "Miracle on 64th Street" and a book for all ages." Starting on the Upper West Side at 77th and Central Park West, the legendary parade travels down to 6th Ave and 34th Street entertaining a televised and real time audience for the 2.5-mile journey. Come Join the Parade! is Kahane's singular vision of this beloved annual event, and her passion and unbridled enthusiasm is revealed with every page turn. In her essay for the book, Kahane gives insight into her process, sharing, "I never check the parade lineup in advance. I prefer to be surprised. Every year it feels like I'm experiencing the parade for the first time." Placed throughout the book are fun DID YOU KNOW? facts about the parade. One such fact is about Tony Sarg, a German immigrant, Macy's employee, and master puppeteer, who helped design the first Macy's parade. Sarg created the first feline balloon, Felix the Cat, which was produced by Goodyear Tire & Rubber, and collaborated with a young Walt Disney in 1934 to create the first Mickey Mouse balloon. Big balloons became an integral part of the parade in 1927 in partnership with Goodyear and have since become pop-culture icons.

On December 26, 1996, John and Patsy Ramsey woke up the morning after a loving family Christmas to discover their youngest child, six-year-old JonBenét, was missing, a chilling ransom note left downstairs. Later that day, John Ramsey discovered his daughter's body in the basement, revealing the shocking truth that JonBenét had not been kidnapped, but was instead sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in their own home. The Boulder, Colorado police, who had little practical experience in homicide investigations, quickly cast suspicion on JonBenét's family as the most likely suspects, fanning the flames of media scrutiny and largely one-sided reporting, turning the case into a national obsession. Twenty-eight years later, that obsession - and finger-pointing - hasn't gone away, and the murder of JonBenét Ramsey remains unsolved. From Emmy-winning and Academy Award nominated director Joe Berlinger, this three-part docuseries investigates the mishandling of the case by law enforcement and the media.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. What is this thing called the anxious generation and how is it effecting millions?  Plus… Julia Cameron of The Artist Way says we were all born to write.  But only some of us are doing it, why? 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…

The anniversary of the release of Bruce Springsteen’s second album, “The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle” back in 1973. It’s one of the most beloved albums of his entire catalog and Scott Shea argues that it’s the most important of the legendary singer’s long career. In ⁠his latest article for the Strange Brew⁠, Scott provides a little album history and talks about how his inauspicious start with Columbia Records yielded this rollicking full band effort that showcased the rock and roll bar sound he’d been cultivating since his earlier bands, Steel Mill and the Bruce Springsteen Band.

The series THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT: UNLOCKING THE TRUTH, which premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, is an unprecedented look at one of history’s most infamous psychology studies through the firsthand accounts of the original “guards” and “prisoners,” many of whom are speaking on camera for the very first time. Their stories unravel a new narrative that interrogates the motives of the man in charge, the late Dr. Philip Zimbardo, while exploring larger questions of human nature and the power of perspective.

Through unparalleled access, THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT: UNLOCKING THE TRUTH embarks on a gripping, ticking-clock journey through the six-day Stanford Prison Experiment with a deluge of reveals, new subjects and a smoking-gun archive. The docuseries weaves together shocking, poignant and sometimes humorous firsthand accounts from the very participants who were at the heart of the experiment. Then, in an unexpected turn, the series brings the participants to a replica film set of the “prison,” where they revisit pivotal moments and attempt to find consensus — and closure — about what really happened over the course of those six days.
