RIP Judy Belushi-Pisano

John Belushi's widow has died at 73. She stuck by him through a lot, then worked hard to ensure his legacy.

I'm reading the new book about The Blues Brothers so this is a bummer to see.

 

I just finished that book, so...yeah. Me, too.

 

RIP She designed their logo.

 

And RIP as always to my man BLUTO, who was seriously BLOTTO on this night.

 

I just started The Blues Brothers book today (as recommended in the Books Thread).

 

RIP to a talented woman who dealt with and witnessed a lot. In the thick of it during a major period in comedy, or a least one that I’ve found to be hugely influential in the stuff I like.

She was at the center of the Belishi super nova from 1975 to 1982. All the good and bad that went with it. She was a partner with someone before his fame, then during intense fame. And addiction. I think at one point Belushi at the No. 1 movie, the No. 1 TV show and the No. 1 album at the same time. Insane.

She had one helluva life.

 

Was that the same Stephen Bishop that had a fleet (get it?) of yacht rock hits in the 1970s?

Didn't realize the actual "Animal House" theme was his.

 

This is the first time in my entire life I have ever seen or heard the term “yacht rock”. I have no idea what it means.

Love “On and On,” though.

So apparently that term was coined long after the era in refers to, which explains why it is foreign to me. I gave up on contemporary music many years before the word was invented.
