About this Book
On the day he turned thirty, John starred in America’s number-one
movie (Animal House), starred in the number-one late-night show (Saturday
Night Live) and had recorded the number-one album (Briefcase Full
of Blues). All from a guy who was never supposed to make it out from
behind the cash register of his family’s Chicago diner.
How did this Albanian immigrant’s son capture a nation’s imagination
and come to embody all the glory and tragedy of the American dream?
It was one high-price, high-speed, short-lived wild ride.
BELUSHI is a whirlwind of a book, filled with never-before-seen
photos and provocative, intensely personal testimonials by just about
every major comedic figure of the last half century. Here is the remarkable
and raucous story of a larger-than-life figure who danced out at the
precipice of American fame.
