I had almost forgotten what a great movie it is.

Howdy,

This sunday they had a half page article on Blue Lou.

He says that he has been recognized in many places.

I asked my waitress if she had seen Blues Brothers.... NO.

I asked the cashier if she had...again NO.

College age kids never saw it.

And there is a Blues Brothers II also.

One of the top ten movies ever....

Best

I ran out of gas! I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locus. It wasn't my fault. I swear to god!

Akroyd and Belushi did a concert album with Blue Lou and the rest of the band from the movie. It’s pretty good. I believe the concert hall scene near the end of the movie came from that production. Can someone verify?

Police Dispatch:  the use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Blues HAS been approved.

 

Elwood:  We are definitely on Lower Wacker Drive!

"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses... HIT IT!"

By the way, there are I think, 4 "Official" Blues Brothers albums if Memory serves.

 

Briefcase full of Blues - The Original Album that was a result of their SnL popularity.

The Movie Soundtrack

Made in America - Live Album I think from a concert tour they did after the movie.

Blues Brothers 2000 - Soundtrack

One of my favorite movies. 
 

I got to witness part of the big police car chase filming in Chicago. I was in the Navy stationed at Great Lakes. We had no idea what was going on. We just knew “someone” was filming a movie. We found out later what it was all about. 
They must have had that old black and white doing 80 through the streets with a bunch of CPD cars in pursuit. Very cool. 
I got to see the movie months later while at C School in Minneapolis.
