Next Saturday marks the 45th anniversary of when The Blues Brothers made their debut appearance on Saturday Night Live. After that they made an album that was a best seller and then they starred in The Blues Brothers movie. Then John Belushi died and that was the end of that!
In honor of this blue anniversary, I’ve got six links to online articles about The Blues Brothers, their album, the movie and a link to a documentary about the making of The Blues Brothers movie.
And then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions. So there!
