Shaun Keaveny - 03/09/2010

Shaun Keaveny takes a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, to the perfect morning soundtrack for any music-lover; from northern soul to new folk; rock 'n' roll to indie disco. Friday sees Shaun chatting about paint, dogs that eat rocks and how the Russian economy needs more drinkers and smokers. Plus Murray Lachlan Young brings us his usual Friday poem - this week decicated to Rock Stars, but here is a little somethign he wrote for us all about beards! Contemplating growing a beard? You want a beard you need a beard. You've seen what beards can do The confidence, the joie de vivre But which beard is for you? French fork, Chin puff ? Cheeky Latin wedge? Soul patch, Neck muff? Chin atop a hedge? Intellectual, goatee beard? Cultivate the shrub Nautical, or boaty beard? Join the beardy club Surfy beard or folky beard? Fluffy, pubic fuzz? Black, blond, ginger beard? Find the beardy buzz. Meet up with your beardy friends In a beardy bar Talk about a beardy band Name a beardy star Scratch a little, stroke a little Stroke a little more Twist and preen and plump and prod Yes, that's what beards are for Look into the mirror See what you can do Who's that bushy beardy bear? That beardy bear is you! Masculine believable Trustworthy and fun Wholesome, wise yet vulnerable Oh feel what you've become Now customise, accessorise Yes, strike a beardy theme A pipe? Perhaps, a Breton shirt? Go on; go on, some skinny jeans Now out, out, out into the world And execute your bearded plan Embrace your bearded destiny Become a bearded man!
