How? How will you be in this fight? What are you going to do to fight back? As the autistic father of an autistic son, I’m pretty pissed off. I’m also pretty tired of hearing the Democratic Congress say they’re going to fight but I have yet to see any actual fighting. When does this fight start?

“I used to go to Bob's Big Boy restaurant just about every day from the mid-seventies until the early eighties. I'd have a milk shake and sit and think. There's a safety in thinking in a diner.“

Day 19

Belushi died of an overdose 2 months after the film’s release making this his last performance. I’ve always been fascinated by this film and what was going on around it. I’ve also been wanting to read the source material for some time now.

Film production was plagued with issues. Belushi and Aykroyd switched parts during preproduction, made constant changes to Larry Gelbart’s screenplay, and tried to get John Landis to replace Avildsen as director. Meanwhile, Belushi’s drug abuse was spinning out of control.
