Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why does it feel like we are putting eggs in everything?  Plus…the way we wear our shoes, should we be swapping them out daily?   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…

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

In the early 1970s, playground courts across the United States were jammed with hoops buffs experimenting with showy moves and aerial shots that were changing the look and feel of a sport once stubbornly earthbound. Out of this scene emerged a pair of incomparable yet dissimilar streetball sensations both of whom would make their name in the American Basketball Association, an upstart professional league characterized as much by flamboyance as invention. Julius Erving, better known as Dr. J, became a mythical figure whose airborne acrobatics inspired an army of high-flying acolytes. Moses Malone, a down-and-dirty banger, scrambled basketball apprenticeships forever by skipping directly from high school to the pros.In the 1980s, Erving and Malone switches leagues, won MVPs, shattered records, and led their respective clubs into the playoff's championship round. But one prize eluded them: an NBA title. After suffering perennial defeat at the hands of Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers and Larry Bird's Boston Celtics, the two eventually joined forces on the Philadelphia 76ers, blending their contrasting talents into a seamless whole. Together, Erving and Malone set out to accomplish what no other NBA team fronted by ex-ABA superstars had managed.An enthralling social history as well as an uplifting underdog story, Moses and the Doctor, intimately chronicles the hopes and heartbreaks of two basketball legends who revolutionized what was possible on the ground and in the air and fueled one of the most thrilling and momentous championship seasons ever.

Harper Grace is forever her father’s daughter on “if daddy says no.” The Texas native finds herself caught between two men who hold her heart: the one who raised her and the one who pursued her. Contemplating the consequences of choosing one over the other, while acknowledging their similarities, she pleads for patience as she seeks her father’s blessing on a coming-of-age track rooted in real-life vulnerability, not storybook endings. “if daddy says no” was written by Harper Grace, Kyle Schlienger, and Scott Stepakoff; and produced by Cooper Bascom."'if daddy says no' was written during a season where I thought I could run away and fall in love on my own terms. I believed love meant choosing freely, without looking back - but internally, I felt a deep push and pull. I was raised in a family where tradition matters, where respect matters, and where my relationship with my father has always been rooted in love, protection, and trust. His "yes" has always meant something to me. This song lives in the tension between wanting to make the right decision for yourself and not tearing down everything else around you in the process. It's about choosing long-term values over short-term emotion, and realizing that love isn't just about who you fall for - it's about who you become and what you're willing to protect."Harper Grace's burgeoning career has already seen her perform twice on national television on NBC'S Today Show, collect 17 million global streams, and co-write a song she recorded that landed a sync placement in a Netflix film in 2025 ("Getaway"). She has opened for many incredible artists, including OneRepublic, Dylan Scott, Maddie & Tae, Nelly, and Walker Hayes. She has performed at NFL, MLB, NBA, and MLS games. She has been featured by NPR, Taste of Country, and US Weekly. And she has released songs with Kelsey Hart, Mason Ramsey, and Franklin Jonas. Harper's songwriting abilities, vocal prowess, and engaging personality have and continue to propel her rise. “if daddy says no" is currently at Country radio

I’m a daily writer of over 32 years.  A terrestrial radio and podcasts host for 46 years.  Everything I create and share through broadcasting is a personal experience. Alexa hasn’t lived a day in any decade or century yet endlessly offers information and acceleration to anyone tapping in.  Street Speak is all about making an authentic connection with a digital device and sheer know it all.  None of this is scripted.  This really is Alexa from Amazon.  You can’t predict a single word Alexa shares.  She’s AI technology.  Endlessly we are warned to never believe what she shares.  Yet it sounds amazingly authentic.  Ultimately, it’s your choice.  So why am I using my real name versus Arroe?  The AI unit thinks if she he or it has to be authentic so do I. This is Street Speak with Alexa and Clarence…
