The Bully Boys Part 3

On March 5 1982, Dan Aykroyd was in his office writing a script for him and John. It was called ''Ghostbusters''. Along with ''Spies Like Us',' a'' Blues Brothers'' sequel, and ''The Three Amigos'', it was one of several movies the team had lined up to film. A call came from California. It was their manager, Bernie Brillstein. John had been found dead in his bed at the Chateau Marmont hotel in LA... There was a pause, and then Dan asked what happened. Brillstein said he didn't know much more than that. Then Dan was told that Judy Belushi didn't know about John yet, he would have to tell her. Dan left the office and went to John's house with news that would break Judy's heart.... As the day went on, the Belushi house filled up with family and friends. Judy, distraught, noticed something she had never seen before: For as long as she had known him and as close as they were, she had never seen Dan Aykroyd cry before. It was startling. This tough, strong, Harley Biker man, was weeping openly. Then she understood : he loved John as deeply as she did... A week later there was a memorial service for John. Over a thousand people were there. The media was out in force because the day before the news of how John died was released. Cocaine and Heroin overdose. The media swarmed like ants at a picnic. There was tension mixed with sadness for John. Suddenly, a tall Canadian strolled to the microphone. He was carrying a briefcase. Dan Aykroyd praising his partner and best friend. It was a strong and caring speech from the heart. Then Dan took a tape deck out of his briefcase. He held the machine to the microphone, and, as he promised John 6 months earlier, ''The Two Thousand Pound Bee'' played into the deep regions of the church. At first, the crowd was stunned, then  they began to laugh.
