Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.   My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities.  The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.   I keep all my notes! Paths will cross again.   Let me explain Missed Opportunity.  It’s my questions and statements without their answers.  I’m leaving open enough space at the end of each question hoping they’ll download the talk and insert their answers. Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.  Like a message in a bottle tossed out to sea. I hope to locate a destination…  This week we’re putting focus on my missed opportunity with author Arlene Klasky Missed Opportunity.  A lost piece of history.  You know the questions.  Let’s locate the reactions.  The door is always open.  If you are or know Arlene Klasky please reach out to me at arroec@gmail.com that’s arroec@gmail.com Be brilliant!    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

In April 1972, Wolfman Jack hosted his final show on XERB, the legendary Tijuana border blaster that launched him into the atmosphere and onto American culture. He began nine years earlier on XERF in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, right across the border from Del Rio, Texas. Did you know that until his grand unveiling in the 1973 coming-of-age classic “American Graffiti,” directed by George Lucas, nobody knew who he was, what he looked like or even his ethnicity? In his latest article for the Strange Brew, author Scott G. Shea peels back the layers of his incredible rise to fame and separates fact from fiction in this unbelievable tale of arguably the greatest disk jockey of all time. I hope you consider having Scott G. Shea, leading music historian and author of the best-selling book, “All the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas & the Papas Came Together and Broke Apart,” on your program to talk about this entertainment icon. Scott not only shares the incredible story of how Wolfman Jack got on the radio and set the airwaves on fire nightly, but also delves deep into the character of Robert Weston Smith, the man behind the mic with the gravelly voice and soulful rap who became a national treasure.

Grammy-nominated artist and producer Lemoyne Alexander  has long been a force in the music world—earning accolades and platinum plaques for his work with hip hop legends like Aaliyah, DMX, Twista, Scarface, and R. Kelly. But today, Lemoyne is writing a bold new chapter in his musical journey—one that plants him firmly in the world of alternative rock. After decades of shaping the sound of Chicago’s hip hop scene and building a resume that includes film and TV credits (Oprah, Jenny Jones, The Doctors), Lemoyne found himself searching for something more. The result is a powerful transition into alternative rock—an unexpected turn that feels like a homecoming. His new album, Alone, draws heavily from '70s and '80s rock influences, blending nostalgic melodies with raw emotion and authenticity. It's a deeply personal project—crafted during a period of reflection following his divorce—and signals a creative rebirth for an artist who has never been afraid to evolve. The lead single, “Insecurity,” (Spotify, YouTube) is already making waves. With over 110k Spotify streams, 97k YouTube plays, and sitting at #1 on the internet radio charts, it’s a song that resonates deeply with listeners facing self-doubt and emotional vulnerability. Written from a place of honesty and experience, “Insecurity” is a powerful opener that sets the tone for the rest of the album. While his past work in hip hop cemented his place in music history, Lemoyne’s venture into alternative rock is proving he’s not done making history yet.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Why are so many people writing memoirs?  Plus…should we all make a move to put our experiences in a book?   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… Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].
