Videos by American Songwriter

“I decided to take my shotgun and take a long walk to Brooklyn,” is not the sort of statement you expect to occupy a song about Dan Aykroyd, if you expect a song about Dan Aykroyd at all. “John would always laugh, but he’s not laughing now,” goes the refrain of Timothy Showalter’s outrageous elegy for John Belushi from a certain Ghostbusters star.
