I still hate Illinois Nazis, except now they run the state.

Check your favorite podcast outlet for Dan Aykroyd’s version of the Blues Brothers story from SNL forward.

Fun movie. Lots of good covers of original R&B hits
I do take exception, now 45 years later, however when classic rock radio plays Belushi and Aykroyd’s “Soul Man” as if they were Sam and Dave.
Fun was fun. Just give me the originals.

The scene with James Brown was recorded live. James’ singing is live, and on fire. It is one of the best scenes in the whole movie.


The scene with Aretha Franklin was overdubbed. Apparently, she was a bit of a diva. Her scene not as powerful as Brown’s, but it’s still killer.

One of the greatest movies ever.

I loved the movie.
I never got the humor of their appearances on SNL. Maybe they were just a little too much scriptless improv on SNL which I didn't get. Or maybe they were impersonating specific blues musicians which I was too young to recognize.

Thanks! This movie really is great fun. Maybe I’ll pop some corn later. I never could decide on my fave scene.

LOVE that movie!!
I've heard tales about how hard it was to put together. Belushi was an almost out of control animal behind the scenes.

My favorite part is John Belushi's psycho girlfriend Carrie Fisher who is trying to kill John throughout the movie.
We discover that she is a hairdresser that works at a beauty shop called "Curl Up and Dye."

Who'd have guessed they predicted the outcome of yesterday's meeting between Zelensky and Trump?

I never get tired of The Blues Brothers. Great music, great scenes. Perfect Americana.
