To Be Read #8: Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude (An Audible Original) by Dan Ackroyd


The Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude by Dan Ackroyd

I first saw the Blues Brothers movies I was blown away. As a teen it was the first R rated movie I saw at the movie theater. It was seemed part musical and part slapstick/dry humor. It also had over the top characters and car chases. It seemed to be the era of car chases with Smokey and the Bandit, Dukes of Hazzard and many more. The music was fresh though. It had musical artists doing cameos that I was only vaguely knew and others who completely didn't know.

 It was certainly be an interesting journey to find out the story behind the Blues Brothers narrated by Dan Ackroyd (Elwood Blues). It is sad the Jim Belushi( Jake Blues) left us in the early 80's. Who knows what would have happened if he had stayed with us. I look forward to listening to this.
