We're on a mission from God. 

If you're an artist and you're introducing phrases to the common lexicon, you have hit your mark

Yeah, that is nuts when you think about what all it spurred.  I definitely think if he had lived, there would have been more albums.

Those boys introduced several phrases, for real.....I like to draw and paint, always have, used to spend entire Saturdays sketching, and wish like hell I had picked up an instrument.  Hell, I even got into drafting, and then didn't go to school for it, sheesh, what an idiot!

I had "Briefcase Full of Blues" and wore it out.  That was a tight as hell band, and Bulushi was not bad as a blues singer.

That's a good point about the SNL performances.  I still have the vinyl, have it and the soundtrack on cassette, and have it, the soundtrack, and The Essential Collection on CD   A very tight unit, and Belushi was indeed a decent front, Aykroyd was nuts on the harp, and their schtick and dancing was classic.
