I just discovered that John Belushi would have celebrated his 57th birthday today, as I am doing right now. I’m honored to share the day with one who brought so much reckless abandon to his humor; too bad it got a bit too reckless and self destructive. Anyway, here’s to you John!
Hi Phil:
Enjoyed meeting you at last summers N.E.W.G. whistle gawking show. I’ll raise a glass of something to your 57th. As for presents, you don’t need any, given that you own that gorgeous green Busman !!!

What a loss Belushi was! I had the great pleasure of seeing him and Dan Ackroyd live during their one brief Blues Brothers tour (with the SNL band as backup) and it was AMAZINGLY good. The BB started out as a one shot skit on SNL, but they were a terrific performing group and Belushi was particularly great. He had a sort of snarly singing voice which really worked for blues. He got so animated that he was literally turning cartwheels across the stage!
