July 26, 2022 – When It’s Mick Jagger’s birthday you know it’s a big day in Rock. He is easily one of the greatest frontmen in the history of music. He turns 79 today. It’s also Roger Taylor of Queen’s birthday. JJ Cale and Mary Wells passed on this day in history and Peter Gabriel went to #1 with “Sledgehammer.” Check out the video.

John Beaudin has been in major market radio (Edmonton, Vancouver & Calgary) for 35 years and a music journalist since 1989. He graduated from Broadcasting school as a newsman so he would have the skills to write about the artists that inspired him since he bought his first album, “Madman Across The Water” by Elton John as a teen. In the ’80s Beaudin was the host of the syndicated radio show “The Cross Canada Report” which had two versions (Rock and A/C). Beaudin was also asked to be a judge at the Juno Awards (Canada’s answer to the Grammys) Twice. He has anchored every position in radio including morning and afternoon drive and was a Program and Music Director for The Breeze and California 103 in Calgary. He currently hosts a weekly evening show at Move 103.5 (formerly QM-FM) in Vancouver and on iHeartRadio.
