Classic Rock Songs In Video Game Style From the Blimp Morning Show
We were talking this week on the Blimp Morning Show about a guy who sold his original N64 Super Mario Brothers video game for over $100,000. What?!?! First, my mom gets rid of my priceless baseball card collection and now I'm told all those video games from 1985 that I threw out when I bought my Sega system are now WORTH SOMETHING. Arghhhhh! Anyway, Celeste got me over my mourning by playing classic rock songs in the style of classic video games.
The Captain’s Evil Twin Makes the Mask PSA He Wishes He Had Made

The Captain’s Evil Twin Makes the Mask PSA He Wishes He Had Made
I found my twin this weekend. And guess what, we both have recently made Public Service Announcements to promote people to wear masks. What are the odds of that? When I did mine I wanted it to be a little bit understated. I wanted to make my points and not come off too preachy. I really do think people should be wearing masks, but I know it's hard....especially if you've been wearing a mask for 8 hours at work every day. That's also why I made sure I was "caught" not wearing a mask at the end of the PSA. Hey, I'm not perfect by a long shot and I wanted to show that. By the way, that was an ad-lib and I'm so glad we kept for the final version that's all over TV right now. Then the legendary Lori Voornas from the WJBQ Morning Show from across the hall sent me ANOTHER PSA by me. Or at least the dude looked like me. Maybe he's my evil twin! This "Evil Twin" PSA makes the same point as mine but maybe comes off just a tad bit more sarcastic.

Here’s That Ridiculous Version of “The Joker” From the WBLM Morning Show
I love it. Celeste does not. It's a ridiculous and fantastic version of Steve Miller's epic song, "The Joker." You know it and love it but you've never heard a version like this before. You know the wolf whistle sound after the line, "...some people call me Maurice...." ? Well, some smart ass out there on the interwebs thought it would be a great idea to put that wolf whistle after EVERY LINE IN THE SONG. That's right, 45 wolf whistles. I think it's hysterical but Celeste doesn't see it that way. I am so lucky to have a morning show partner that is incredibly patient! Seriously, I almost cry every time I hear this, it's so funny. Is it a guy thing?

Mary From Tirdy Works Is Getting Ripped Off By Imposter Turds And She’s Not Happy
We love Mary and her crew. But it seems that someone else is trying to get into the act. Yup, she's found COUNTERFEIT TURDS out there. Whoever is selling this stuff is posing as the Tirdy Works crew but there's only one Tirdy Works! I was afraid of this. How can you tell what's real moose poop and what counterfeit poop? It seems Mary has trademarked her Tirdy Works stuff and someone trying to pretend to be her may be in for it. We've spent some time with Mary and we can tell you she's wicked smart and that she won't take any crap from anybody. Especially if they are messing with HER crap. Got get 'em, Mary. Oh my goodness. it's Maine Moose Crap Turf Wars!

OK, I'm going to say this right at the top. It is JARRING to see Rob Gronkowski, out former NeE England Patriot superstar, in a BUCS t-shirt. I don't think the "trade" was real to me until right now. He's really gone. Back with TB12. And hey, if I'm falling off my chair seeing Grink in a Bucs t-shirt, wait until you see what happens what I see Tom Brady in a full Tampa Bay uniform, How do you spell apoplectic? Wait, I just did.

Another Tommy C Recipe From “The Twilight Zone”…
We're still sorting out the "box from Hell" and all of the (literally) hundreds of recipes that have accumulated over the last 40 years. An overdue project, yes, but the fun part still is discovering various index cards and crumpled paperwork and not having any idea whatsoever as to where it came from or who gave it to you and when, etc.

Mainers Tell Us The Weirdest Concert Lineups They’ve Ever Seen
Sometimes when you go to a concert the opener and the headliner just don't make any sense being on the same bill together. Like Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees. Yup, that happened. We found this phone call montage from our "Best Of The Captain and Celeste" WBLM Morning Show Archives. These are listeners calling in telling us the weirdest concert lineups they ever saw.

A Gallery of Mainers’ Last “Normal” Photo Before Coronavirus Changed Everything
The coronavirus pandemic has changed how Mainers live. What was totally normal just a few short months ago is now a long-cherished memory. Everything has changed. We asked Mainers this week to share the last "normal" photo on their phone. We had tons of replies. Most of these were sent in early March. By March 16, the state was starting to shut down. Remember, no St. Patrick's Day parties the year? Doesn't that seem like 100 years ago?! The photos in our gallery best represent everything that was sent to us. Looking at them makes me both sad, and hopeful. It also makes me grateful for all those "little" moments I still have each day with family, co-workers, and friends. Enjoy every day my friends and thank you for sharing your last "normal" moment with us.

What’s Your Earliest Rock and Roll Memory?
Do you remember the moment you knew you were going to love Rock and Roll for the rest of your life? Was it a subtle push or was it a lightning bolt? Maybe it was a song you heard on the radio or maybe even at a show. For me, it was a cool older brother and Led Zeppelin.
