I was born in Chicago! Gosh, this movie is great for fans of film, fans of comedy, and fans of music alike. The story of Jake and Elwood Blues who, like the slogan says, are on a mission from God. From sitting in jail to saving a church, these two use their vast talents in blues music to get them through the movie. And it also unfortunately serves as a reminder of how soon John Belushi was taken from the world that his movies made a little bit better. Orange whip?

A classic, but I admit I have not seen this since the early 80s.
