captain

It's long been a running joke of locals and tourists alike that if you view Captain Brown from a side angle it appears he's a bit of an exhibitionist.

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.

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.

It's amazing how people are adapting to the "social distancing" thing. My kids are wicked close to their grandparents, and while we are doing a lot of video conferencing with them right now, my girls took it to the next level this weekend when "Yaya" and "Papa did a quick drive-by to our place. Olivia and Emma were ready, and surprised their grandparents with a song and dance!

The community and firefighters of Berwick, Maine held a service Saturday to honor the life and bravery of Captain Barnes.

Listening to WBLM is just one of the fun things you can do with the amazing Amazon Echo device. There are zillions of skills to enable. And Alexa always has a few tricks up her digital sleeve. Here's the Captain with his Alexa Tricks of the Week

I never ever want to go through the shame and disgrace of donning a Philadelphia Eagles hat and singing the Eagles Fight Song on the Blimp patio to a mocking audience on Portland's town square. But that's exactly what happened when I made a bet with my 87-year-old mother

Did you see Steven Tyler's AWESOME car commercial last night during the Super Bowl? Tyler was able to go BACK IN TIME by driving his vehicle BACKWARDS. And guess what? It actually WORKED!

The Captain has been chosen to be in the Real Men Wear Pink campaign to help the American Cancer Society. If you give to his campaign you'll not only help raise funds for the amazing things the ACS is doing but also put yourself in a contest where you could win a spot as a Co-Host on the BLM Morning Show for a day!

The Captain's two wonderful daughters found out late last night that TODAY was Take Your Daughter (and Sons) to Work Day. Well, that was IT. There was no doubt that a visit to the WBLM Morning Show would be an incredible enrichment and educational experience...

Tired of the gloomy weather this week? Us too. So maybe it's time to bring out "Wet Dream.". It's a silly song we have been playing on the Blimp Morning Show on every rainy day for over 25 years. For those that missed it...sorry and here ya go...

Are you ready for one of the greatest adventures in Maine Radio history? Get ready, because The Captain has teamed up with our great friends at Efficiency Maine. We'll see if the Captain can handle an Energy Audit! Check out this trailer...

So great to see all our friends at the Cross Insurance Arena today for the annual Maine Restaurant and Lodging Expo. This is THE business to business event of the year for our all-important Maine hospitality industry. There were hundreds of exhibitor, tons of workshops and lots of food and drink...

Let's decide this once and for all. We've been going back and forth with another morning show in New Hampshire for the past week about who has the better beer.

All of us at the Blimp can't wait for Portland On Tap this Saturday. The event is SOLD OUT. Why? Because we LOVE our beer here in Maine. And why is that? Because we have the BEST beer in the world in Maine. We're proud of our beer and brewers, and that's why things got a little heated earlier this week when I said that Maine had the best beer around...

Lots of chatter this week with U2 shock-releasing a new album on us; "Songs of Innocence." Even more shocking was HOW they did it...in tandem with the release of the new Iphone and Apple Watch. The album was automatically downloaded into 500 million ITunes user's libraries...
