His tragic death in 1982 only added to the myth that surrounded him: self-destructive and conflicted, he was the most rock 'n' roll non-musician of his time (this isn't to say he wasn't a mean singer, however). His sordid passing cannot overshadow just how hilarious he could be, whether it was playing Joliet Jake Blues with deadpan arrogance or writhing maniacally onstage as a conniption-prone Joe Cocker. In the now classic <I>Animal House</I>, Belushi didn't need the most lines to steal the show; with sublime facial expressions, volatile outbursts, and spot-on one-liners ("Seven years of college down the drain!") it became <I>his</I> movie. Despite his overt craziness and physicality, he was capable of some surprisingly touching and subtle performances, such as his masterful "short film" played on <I>Saturday Night Live</I>: he is a lonely old man, reminiscing about his dearly departed costars. Watching this deft performance now is as likely to produce tears as it is laughs. - Will LernerSketch Comedyen720Tue, 1 Dec 2009 02:31:18 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2362&rws=%2Fjohn-belushi%2Ftop-tracks.rss If you were around from the mid 1970s to the early '80s -- and assuming you didn't have your eyes, ears and mind closed -- you knew exactly who the portly, fanatical, versatile and very funny John Belushi was.
