CHICAGO ¨C One of my favorite movies, and not just because I live in Chicago ¡ª but if you want to see the best city location shots, that¡¯s the movie ¡ª is the John Belushi/Dan Aykroyd 1980s farce, ¡°The Blues Brothers.¡± It¡¯s a send-up of a Saturday Night Live TV show bit in which the comics actually became blues singers.
The plot, how much of one there may be, is built around the phrase of ¡°putting the band back together,¡± sort of a reunion of the blues band featuring the Belushi character coming out of prison and Aykroyd.
We¡¯ll accept coaching the Chicago Bulls was not quite like being in prison. But it¡¯s made me wonder whether Chicago¡¯s formerly beloved coach, Tom Thibodeau, is about to embark on a form of his own mission from God ¡ª as the movie¡¯s theme offers ¡ª of bringing back his formerly successful group for one more run.
