the very happiest (if slightly belated) of birthdays to everyone's favorite glue maker, harp blower, and hot rodder, elwood blues. this character has remained very dear to me for my entire life so far, and i see no signs of that changing any time soon. thank you dan for blessing us with our beloved boys <3

dan aykroyd, john belushi, and former chicago mayor jane byrne

the first two photos are from the day dan made john ask her for permission to film blues brothers. up until that point, the city (mostly due to sitting mayor at the time richard daley) had been reluctant to let anyone film there. john being a chicago native, dan thought he might be able to appeal to her, which he did. the third photo is presumably from her visit to the set.
