A sad tale about a man who had it all and let slip away. After reading this book I got the opinion that John Belushi was a spoiled asshole, who got away with his shenanigans because he was popular. Nobody wanted to tell him the hard truth because people needed him and they all thought the next time would be different. Had he lived I think he would have been washed because he seemed to burn a lot of bridges, Live the high life and push the boundaries as Belushi did and have the enablers as he had death can't be far away.

Great book about Belushi. He was a very troubled man, and it was heartbreaking to read about his trials. I find Belushi to be one of the most talented comedic actors of all time, so it was a must read for me. I will admit that I was also expecting to love this, and I did, so I was a bit biased. *great photos as well* I've always been fascinated by the life of John Belushi, primarily because I look just like the man, so of course I would eventually read this book. What I found is a tragic tale of loneliness and addiction that probably could have been stopped if anyone had truly gotten to know the man, or if his close friends had done something just a bit sooner. The truly frightening thing I found as I read was exactly how much I do have in common with John. It scared me. Which, of course, is exactly what it was supposed to do. This is the life of a man who rose to meteoric heights, then fell to abysmal depths, and it deserves to be read by everyone, especially if you are fascinated by celebrity culture and don't quite understand how these stars can fall apart the way they do. Here's the thing you learn from Wired; they don't have any control over it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
