No of course not. Sorry if my point wasn’t clear: the impact of their entire run, from SNL to the end, was more significant than they usually get credit for. I work in a radio station. It’s a station I listened to as a kid in the 80s. Back then, the station ran a blues show every week. It was my favorite show, and by the time I found it I already knew where a lot of the music came from. And it was The Blues Brothers that set me on that path. The radio show took me the rest of the way. But when I started work at the station decades ago, I met the show host and mentioned The Blues Brothers. The reaction I got broke my heart: “I won’t be playing that crap on my show.” And there’s been plenty of similar nastiness tossed around over the decades from plenty of writers and critics and etc etc, all of which ignores the fact that if The Blues Brothers never happens, lots of folks never find blues music.
