Fabulous, Blue Lou, Bones, Triple Scale, and crazy Getdwa strutted in one Saturday night. The Colonel showed up in Decatur with his Telecaster and Duck. And soon other musicians crawled out of the night. Word spread quietly across the steel belt about the two men in the porkpie hats who still played the blues. They played everywhere: after-hours clubs, black-light bars. When Jake could keep himself out of jail, Elwood took off from the Taser factory and the brothers rode the state bare. Jake and Elwood Blues … the Blues Brothers. Now the solo boys with soul in their blood were brothers. He held it tight and as it glowed in the bulb light, Jake sliced Elwood’s middle finger and then his own. And then one night, Jake brought in a gleaming E string he said came from Elmore James’ guitar. They used the basement because it was secret and because the echo gave them a nice dirty sound: Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walker, slapping like a bad dream around the chilly room. And Joliet tore that voice from some hidden darkness, twisting his chubby body, snarling at the heavens, a born sinner. Silent Elwood never did put more than two sentences together, but all those lost words burned from his Special 20 blues harp. Down in the coolness of his basement he taught the brothers the blues.

The nuns scorched their days with holy threats and Curtis rescued them by night. Curtis wrapped his waxy brown hands around his guitar neck and played the most dangerous blues this side of Robert Johnson. He wore these sinister midnight shades, a narrow black tie and a porkpie hat that he kept pushed back on his head. Actually, saved by a gray-haired janitor everybody called Curtis.

Even back in the Rock Island City orphanage (that sweaty kid factory with the black windows) Jake and Elwood were saved by the music. It was out there for the taking and Jake could smell it like ozone in damp air. Someday they’d have a penthouse on Lake Shore Drive… float around with bourbons and blonds. He absentmindedly rubbed his Buddha belly even on a diet of jail food and Chesterfields, Jake had gained weight.

And the ending was always the same – Jake and his younger brother Elwood cruising out of Calumet City, Ill., with the sun in their shades and a full tank of gas. But this was different it played across his tiled cell wall 24 hours a day. Joliet Jake had always been full of schemes. There had been too many messy gas station holdups with only some green stamps and a case of Valvoline to show for the risk. It was his, the only real one he'd ever had, and he clung to it. Jake, honey.Įlwood: Take it easy.Jake had a vision. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. Mystery Woman: You miserable slug! You think you can talk your way out of this? You betrayed me. Jake: Oh, please, don't kill us! Please, please don't kill us! You know I love you baby. So for me, for my mother, my grandmother, my father, my uncle, and for the common good, I must now kill you, and your brother. To obtain the seven limousines for the wedding party, my father used up his last favor with Mad Pete Trullo. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterers in the state. I stood at the back of a cathedral, waiting, in celibacy, for you, with three hundred friends and relatives in attendance. Mystery Woman: You contemptible pig! I remained celibate for you.
