John Belushi: January 24, 1949 - March 5, 1982

We noted the 25th anniversary of John Belushi's death on this blog's "Milestones" early this morning.

Acknowledging the contributions John made to pop culture would have not only been appropriate today - but mandatory for a classic rock radio station.

John was a show business icon for the generation that listens to your radio station - trancending comedy, acting and music. His contribution and importance to your audience shouldn't be ignored.

And he left us far too soon. On a personal level, John's work remains a source of laughs and entertainment for me and both of kids (each born long after John's death). Simply timeless. added: This afternoon we popped "1941" into the DVD player.

Chicago's Steve Dahl shares his memories and time with John here.

Who else belongs on a classic rock "pop icon" list?
