On This Day/John Belushi

On this day in 1982, John Belushi, comedian and Blues Brother, dies of a drug overdose at the Chateau Marmont Hotel California. He was only 32 years old. His unique comedic style drew comedy and rock closer together. This National Lampoon’s Lemmings sketch is said to be the inspiration for This is Spinal Tap.
