John Adam Belushi was born in Chicago, 1949...and like so many bright lights of the counterculture, left us at a disturbingly young age, only 33 years later at the dawn of March, 1982.
A candle burning at both ends, this somersaulting, volatile, pratfall prone comedian stole the spotlight wherever he went, in both personal and onscreen life, from Chicago's Second City to National Lampoon to a fabled stint with the original Saturday Night Live ensemble.
A sideline performing high energy schtick-based (but strangely both serious and more than competent) classic blues and soul covers with veterans of the scene went from local club dates to album releases, eventually resulting in an enduring modern era movie classic: The Blues Brothers.
But an all too brief run in filmmaking was not without its own perils, and his personal indulgences were all too encouraged in the circles in which he ran.
After delivering a handful of off kilter (but towards the end, surprisingly good) films that showed there was more to the man than a juvenile, slovenly life of the party type, he was gone, leaving a short but memorable legacy that endures to this very day.
Join us as we wrestle with a true live wire, the bombastic John Belushi!
