A never-before-heard interview with John Belushi from 1979 offers some new insight into how the late, great Saturday Night Live star and comedy icon felt about criticisms that were leveled at the musical comedy The Blues Brothers at the time. Coming as part of the Audible audio documentary Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude, and via EW, the interview was conducted by music critic Steve Bloom three years before Belushis death and finds the actor addressing the disapproval over the movie capitalizing on a genre so closely tied with African-American culture and Black artists.
