Remembering John Belushi

Hard to believe it was 26 years ago when John Belushi died of a drug overdose.  It was a shock to hear the sad news on the radio that day.  I was in high school at the time.  I was home from school and had just listened to my Blues Brothers album: Briefcase Full of Blues.  Then, I turned on the radio and heard the disc jockey say that John Belushi was dead.

I cried a lot that night.  He was my favorite Not Ready for Prime Time Player.

"I'm a King Bee" by John Belushi (The performance that started the Blues Brothers because Dan Aykroyd is in the background playing the harmonica and wearing the black hat and dark glasses)
