I have to tell you. happens at the time of preparation of "The Blues Brothers." 1979. days most days not.
Belushi and Akroyd had already started to offer their brilliant reinterpretation of the two bluesmen in the famous television show Saturday Night Live, and thinking with Landis to transpose to the screen, contact James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and others. It was at that point that came to mind John Lee Hooker, who, at the time, was performing at the Lone Star, a club in New York which Belushi knew the owner, Mort Cooperman. Cooperman was precisely to bring the TV star in the backstage area and to submit to Hooker, he did not recognize at all Belushi. Cooperman said: "You know, he is a television celebrity." Hooker, then dropped his dark glasses, looked at him and Belushi: "Who are you, one of the Muppets?".
