This...is a major work in progress. BI Still open for questions. Hey. I'm Elwood. I'm a character created by Dan Aykroyd for a sketch on a comedy tv show. Obviously I made it big afterward. Me and my brother anyway, who was created by John Belushi. (God bless his resting soul...) Also. I'll probably be breaking the fourth wall a lot more, so don't get too scared now. *Eyebrow wiggle* Anyway. I don't really have much to say about myself other than what other people have said about me. They say I'm silent, the calmer of us two brothers and also a lot less self-destructive. Check out this band my brother and I were in. The Soul and Blues revivalist band called the Blues Brothers. Speaking of which, we were in a movie. BD In 1980, The Blues Brothers, directed by John Landis, was released. Featuring car chases involving the Bluesmobile and musical performances by Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles and John Lee Hooker, the story is set in and around Chicago, Illinois. It is a tale of redemption for the paroled convict Joliet Jake Blues and his brother Elwood as they decide to take on a "mission from God" and reform their blues band in order to raise funds to save the Catholic orphanage where they grew up. Along the way, the brothers are targeted by a "mystery woman" and chased by the Illinois State Police, a country and western band called the Good Ol' Boys, the owner of Bob's Country Bunker, and "Illinois Nazis." The film grossed $57 million domestically in its theatrical release, making it the 10th highest grossing movie of 1980, and grossed an additional $58 million in foreign release. It is the second-highest grossing film based on a Saturday Night Live sketch (only 1992's Wayne's World having grossed more) and the twelfth-highest grossing musical film. -Wikipedia Entry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue… Admins favorite musical number in said movie. |
