Shaun celebrates National Beard Day and takes a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events to the perfect wake-up soundtrack for any discerning music lover.

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!
