He is known as "Mr. Rock N' Roll", which is his registered trademark, and is considered one of the foremost historians on rock music.[3] Beirne's Los Angeles career lasted almost three decades, representing the longest continuous stint in FM radio history.

His radio career, spanning 40 years, included stints in San Francisco, Chicago, Cleveland, and Sacramento, among others. He retired from KRTH-FM on December 15, 2004. He has continued to host and produce rock and roll shows around the country.[3]
