- On March 5, 1982, John Belushi - just 33 years old and widely considered one of the great comedic geniuses of all time - died of an overdose of cocaine and heroin. Much of the chatter following Belushi’s death centered upon his addictions and the sordid life he often lived, but his legacy remains the timeless characters he created and his fearless comedic style that has inspired generations of boundary-pushing comics.

R I P WE NEVER FORGET JOHN
It's a real downer when you're party buddy totally ruins the night like that.
It really seemed that he really needed ppl around him that really cared about him. Otherwise he would fly off the rails. He partied like that in LA because he was left to his own device. It was like he needed a babysitter or something. Idk. It's crazy. In an unlimitedly tragic way
As Bethoven he had a ring. He didn't snort it off his hand. It was in the ring he was wearing.
I hope you do one on John Lennon and Jim Morrison maybe Jimi Hendrix that would be cool
It really blows my mind when I think about John Belushi and where he'd be if he'd lived. Unimaginable! I can guarantee he'd have an Oscar along with being pure legend. As he was a legend when he passed and he was just scraping the iceberg man! He was going to be absolutely unbelievable! Endless potential. He could definitely make ppl laugh. But he could also act his ass off!! An could definitely be taken seriously. It's just another "What Could Have Been". It's just such a fuckin tragic waste of such a super talent! And this happens so much more in this fast paced lifestyle of these incredible talents. I mean just listen to the ppl that went to his home! DeNiro, Stanton, Williams, who would claim to see his ghost and it scared him into quitting cocaine as he was,as was obviously most of this community on a lot of cocaine. It was tge early 80s and these guys had it by the bag fulls. It was a necessity at the time. Ntm it was accepted so much socially in a big time way especially in the 80s. It was cocaine all day and all night.
You guys' ads are placed in really annoying spots.
Read "The Life and Death of Captain Preemo"
If they hadn't given him an advance for signing on to be in "The Joy of Sex" which Aykroid and Ramis had told him to just turn down that trash of a movie and go back to New York to be with them and his wife at home. They were in tge process of making him the main lead in their film they were writing "Ghostbusters". Which they were sure was going to be a blockbuster film. And it was. And his character was replaced by Bill Murray. I could only imagine how much more funnier the movie could have been. Nothing against Murray he's great! However Belushi would have added his own input as well. I mean they could have had Murray with his excellent comedic sarcasm as the fourth Buster if they had wanted.
U forgot Gilda rander
Basquiat died in 1988.
Sex with Cathy Smith...?? Says who?? I don't think so. Never heard that one before!
Me either that means he cheated on Judy
It's not true, he told Cathy Smith to fuck off. Smith herself says heroin use made her very horny but John turned down her advances
So smith and Belushi were together so he cheated on Judy
Why do people still talk about this? Belushi was a hardcore junkie who overdosed, nothing more.
Pretty boring way of looking at things
Because people obviously are interested in his life and death. Really not much of a riddle, lol.
