Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi

1989Bob Woodward

3.8/5

Okay, so I knew that John Belushi did a lot of coke, but what I didn't realize was that he did, like, ALL of the coke. Sounds like just about every gram of blow that was shipped to the US in the late 70s and early 80s found its way into Belushi's system, one way or another. This guy did more nose candy than all of Weimar Germany, and they did a whole hell of a lot of coke in Weimar Germany. No one sets out to have their life story become a cautionary tale, but if this isn't, I'm not too sure what is. The book is well written and compelling, and also serves as a "who's who" of Hollywood drug use during that time period (De Niro, Robin Williams, Dan Akroyd, Ed Begley Jr., et al). Super tragic stuff.
