I feel like tumblr should be bigger fans of The Blues Brothers. It's a movie that has everything we value as a community. Attention and respect to pioneering black musicians, open hostility to nazis, open defiance to police, Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher and flamethrower, a soundtrack that goes hard as hell, John Belushi so blasted on cocaine that he continues to do somersaults despite having a broken ankle. It's got it all!

guys are you into dan akyroyd lore? it goes fucking crazy!! off the top of my head he partly owns several wineries, he has a vodka brand, he created and owns the house of blues music venues, his great grandad talked with arthur conan doyle about spiritualism which dan is also a fan of, he had tourettes as a kid, his autism is self diagnosed, he was engaged to carrie fisher after proposing on the set of blues brothers but she left him for her ex. there is so much more that i can’t remember though so go and read his entire wikipedia like i just did. incredible lore.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it.
