In this episode of Audio Mover AM, host Robert John Hadfield dives into the latest rock news and anniversaries.

We kick off with today’s rock birthdays:

Sting (The Police) – born October 2, 1951 (turns 74).
Mike Rutherford (Genesis / Mike + The Mechanics) – born 1950 (75 today), with Robert sharing his personal story of why All I Need Is a Miracle still hits hard.
Don McLean – born 1945, remembered for American Pie (and even Weird Al’s parody).
Phil Oakey (Human League) – born 1955, known for synth-pop classics like Human.
Jim Root (Slipknot, Stone Sour) – born 1971 (54 today).
We also highlight major album anniversaries:
King Crimson’s Discipline (1981) – their game-changing prog return.

Oasis’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) – the album that gave us Wonderwall and became the anthem of a generation.

The big headline? Def Leppard is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on October 9, 2025. Robert breaks down the details of the ceremony, including John Bon Jovi and Bruce Resnikoff as guest speakers, and reflects on Def Leppard’s legacy—from Pyromania to Hysteria.

But that’s not all—Robert goes deeper into the history of rock bands on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, sharing the first ten to be honored (from Crosby, Stills & Nash to Queen) and adding context about how rare it is to see rock bands alongside Hollywood actors.

The episode closes with:

A featured comment of the day from Johnny Megabyte Canada about KISS’s Alive, its impact on rock history, and how it inspired generations to pick up guitars.

Reflections on Rush’s live albums (All the World’s a Stage vs Exit… Stage Left) and the influence of AC/DC classics like Back in Black and Highway to Hell.
