Captain and Celeste

NESN's Tom Caron joins us every Friday morning to talk all things New England Sports. TC has a busy week ahead. He's calling the Beanpot final on Monday and then it's off to Red Sox Spring Training on Tuesday! Tom talked to the Captain and Celeste about the Mookie trade ( is it still happening?) who will manage the Sox and how he is a bag chucker when he travels. You know you get to your room, just check your bag in and then head right to the bar.

The great Tom Caron is back from London and back on the Blimp this week. And what a week it was for Major League Baseball, the Red Sox and their now ex-manager Alex Cora. TC had a great take on the dismissal of Cora, what it means for baseball and who the Sox may get as their next manager. All of this as the Sox have their Fan Fest this weekend.

The amazing Vanity of Maine Instagram account is back with its first batch of wild vanity license plates for 2020.

On every rainy day, the WBLM Morning Show has faithfully played that wacky song loaded with clever puns by Kip Addotta called Wet Dream.

Everywhere you look right now, it's all about the Holidays. EXCEPT here, where we give you the best of Maine vanity plates from Morgan and gang from Vanity of Maine on Instagram. No ho-ho-ho here. No Reindeer. No peace on earth and goodwill towards all men. Here's the "best" this week of what we found on the highways and byways of Maine.

Sure, we have to wait until Thanksgiving at Noon to play Alice's Resturant by Arlo Guthrie. But we DON; T have to wait to start the Turkey Day rock, thank to Adam Sandler, The classic Thanksgiving Song by Adam Sandler was first played on SNL November 22, 1992. It was originally a Weekend Update feature.

Boy, do we love our Jeeps here in Maine. You'll get the approving "nod" when you drive by another Jeep owner. Did you know there are over 52,000 Jeep vehicles registered in Maine? We also love our crazy and wonderful anything-goes Maine vanity plates. Put them both together and you have this week's edition from the "King of Vanity", Morgan, at the Vanity of Maine Instagram page. It's all Jeep's this week!

The great Bob Socci called into the Captain and Celeste this morning to discuss the tough road win against the Eagles yesterday. Bob does the play by play for us and has become one of the legendary voices of New England and the NFL. So far, he's called FOUR Patriots Super Bowls on the radio.

Did you miss the rich, bulging pageantry of WBLM's Workplace Trivia this morning? Today's topic was near and dear to our hearts; the WBLM Broadcast Tower in Raymond. See, we shoot our signal from One City Center in Portland to this giant tower in Raymond which blasts the Blimp's 100,000 watts of Classic Rock all over Maine and New Hampshire. Are you ready to take the Workplace Trivia Challenge?

What a great morning at the Oxford Casino Hotel and Event Center. The Blimp Morning Show was rocking as usual, but today was extra special as we revealed the fundraising number from our year-long "Give 5 Get 10" promotion to benefit three fantastic and very worthy local veterans groups

You can meet this amazing phenom on Monday in Portland at the Maine Mariners game! I have not been more excited to see someone at the Cross Insurance Arena since the KISS/Aerosmith twin bill back in November of 2003.

The future of Rock and Roll is in good hands thanks to the folks at the Maine Academy of Modern Music. MAMM uses the power of music to inspire students, foster creative collaboration, and build community. Now here's your chance to help thousands of young Maine rockers with the upcoming MAMM Chords for Kids fundraiser. This will be a great night out at AURA with tons of performances from these kids and you'll be helping to raise funds to make these kids rockstars for life.

Hundreds and hundreds of Maine vanity plates are posted each week on the Vanity of Maine Instagram page. Morgan and his crew do a great job of curating this fantastic collection. From the wonderful to the profane, Mainers are allowed to put WHATEVER they want on a license plate. Here are the five that tickled our fancy this week.

We had a ton of fun this past week on the WBLM Morning Show asking listeners about their Top 4 Classic Rock Artists of All Time We call it Rock Rushmore and you should tell us yours right now.

Beatle Fans activate! The 50th-anniversary edition of Abbey Road is out and we are celebrating Friday night at the Maine College of Art. If you love the Beatles, you gotta come. It's free and you'll get to do your favorite thing. Listen and discuss all you know about John, Paul George and Ringo with other Beatles geeks. Let's go!

Here's another round of fantastic Maine vanity plates thanks to Morgan at the Vanity of Maine Instagram page. It's amazing what you can figure out about your fellow drives just by seven characters on a plate. And remember, in Maine, you can put ANYTHING on a license plate! We're not sure if that's a good idea or not but it certainly makes it for interesting driving. Happy Motoring!
