I think Beck is from Seattle. His father owned a bakery there.
Beck was in the Tampa Bay Area for many years broadcasting as a “shock jock” . He made fun of Terri Schiavo, and was an alcoholic at that time. He had a change and became what he is today. I have seen him morph from a conservative to whatever you call it he is today. I listened and followed him until about 4 or 5 years ago when he got a bit strange.
