Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues): ... it's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses ...
John Belushi (Jake Blues): ... hit it ...
From The Blues Brothers

Bluto: See if you can guess what I am now.
[puts a scoop of mashed potatoes in his mouth and hits his cheeks with his fists and spits it out]
Bluto: I'm a zit. Get it?


So many great moments John, we were sad to see you go.

I remember the funeral on The Vineyard. They have had to move him to an unmarked grave because it was becoming such a problem for the other gravesites getting damaged.

Wow, that 30 years went by fast.

That's too bad, I was hoping to visit it someday.

Thanks, not even going to get to ACK this year - just didn't want to pony up for the house after a not so great income year. This year is looking much better so far.
Are you guys still planning on the James Taylor July 4th show at Tanglewood?

Tickets are on the Fridge! We are bringing a couple of virgins...And maybe Tommy too.

I got Tommy his tix, bringing them to him this weekend at the NEPHC. Hopefully I'll see you guys there if Jimmy doesn't show up at GW before then! Tommy tells me that Paul McCartney was supposed to be a special guest last year - since this is my birthday present to myself I'm hoping he decides to make up for it this year!

My favorite scene in that movie.
I saw the director in an interview where he said that he had no idea
John was going to do that.

Did anyone see that someone is putting together a broadway musical of Animal House?

I think this may be one of those things better left as is - that cast was so perfect. Although people probably said that about "Spamalot" and that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on stage, however, that was a lot of the original cast so that might have made a difference.

Spamalot was brilliant. My wife hates Monty Python (so many women do)
but she loved Spamalot when I took her on it's Washington D.C. run ....

It would of course hang on the casting. I can totally see Christine Baranski as Mrs. Dean Wermer.

From Nightline back in '82. The segment is not complete, it ends just as it's getting into a career retrospective on Belushi. Still worth viewing though. Like most everyone else, I can remember where I was and what I was doing when I first heard the news. For me, I didn't hear about it until the day after (on March 6th). I was at a party the night before and we didn't turn a television on until the next morning.
