If John Belushi taught us anything...

With a Canadian groupie a #1 hit was based on?

No, I didn't mean Dave Coulier.

The original post I responded to referred to John Belushi dying in a hotel. He died after getting an injection cocaine and heroin from a Canadian woman named Cathy Smith. She fled to Canada and no one knew her involvement, until she sold the story to National Enquirer, which lead to her serving 15 months in the slammer.

Cathy Smith was a groupie, mainly with The Band. But she also had an affair with fellow Canadian Gordon Lightfoot. His sole #1 hit in the United States was Sundown.

In fairness, Alanis Morissette was a singer not a groupie.

"Alanis Morissette was a singer not a groupie."

I suppose the distinction depends entirely upon how much they put out.
