Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   What happens in your mind and heart when the real feeling is to follow through with something.  Follow through?  What’s that?  Plus…talking baby talk with your dogs and cats, how normal is that?   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…

This one goes all the way back to 1512! Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Funny how something in Germany found its way around the world and the centuries required to make it possible.

THE ROLLING STONES: The Biography (on sale April 21, 2026) offers readers an all-access backstage pass to one of popular music's greatest stories. Drawing on hundreds of new interviews and five years of archival research, award-winning author Bob Spitz delivers an unprecedented, richly detailed portrait of the band that redefined rock 'n' roll-and whose power shows no signs of fading, over sixty years on.At its heart, this story is about two boys, Mick and Keith, and their unique, fraught, alchemical bond, tested through the years but never broken. The bandmates, like Charlie Watts, who found their groove in relation to this double star, made the trip intact, while those who struggled, like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, were chewed up and spit out. Spitz vividly traces the Stones' artistic inspiration, pivotal moments in the band's rise and reinvention, and the deeply human stories behind the myth.Along the way, Spitz revises many elements of the conventional narrative, underscoring just how carefully the band has controlled its own story up to now. One small example: no, Muddy Waters was not mopping the floors at Chess Records when the Stones showed up. But in a larger sense, as with the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, Spitz's greatest gift is for the big picture. He knows where the magic is, and why it is. Spitz is as clear-eyed a connoisseur of the show business, the spectacle, and the collateral damage of this whirlwind as anyone alive, and he serves as an essential guide to the band's unique history.The story of The Rolling Stones has many dark moments, including a surprising number of deaths. But whether Jagger and Richards sold their souls to the devil at the crossroads for blues greatness or just squeezed their heroes for every drop of inspiration, in the end their connection to their music and to each other put them in a category of one. Rock music fans and pop culture lovers alike will be captivated by this wild ride

We all get them... a spike in our daily podcast numbers. It could last a day or four. But don't let it poison your drive. When it goes down, oops your heart no longer feels like the second coming of Joe Rogan.

Lost with You, starring Disney Channel regular, Jake Short and star of All American, Madison Shamoun. The film is about two people of opposing viewpoints finding one another despite having differing opinions on almost everything. I think given the crazy times we're living in, this is a vibe that audiences are looking for. The film won Best Indie Film at the Los Angeles Film Awards late last year and just got a ridiculously rave review from Film Threat.
Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Mike Southerly, the film was accomplishment in true guerilla filmmaker style without pulling a single permit despite filming at the Griffith Observatory, the Santa Monica Pier, and the Hollywood sign, among other iconic Los Angeles locales. It's a pretty great story how he was able to get this one into the end zone for under $200K.

We have never erased our daughter's presence as a teen from our home in this forest. The moment you step into her room you're taking a time machine back to the early 1990's. Let the children play. Then save it beyond forever.
