'
“I went,” Oh my God, when he writes about my friend that I have known half of my adult life – talking to the people of the outer, outer circle – what the hell could they have done Nixon? “

Belushi suffered a fatal overdose on cocaine and heroin in his private bungalow in the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in March 1982 at the age of 33 -.
Belushi, best known for the film The Blues Brothers from 1980, has been struggling with drug addiction for years before he died.
Elsewhere in his podcast -chat, Murray's Woodward sources fluctuated for the book and said they were 'far outside the inner circle' and resulted in a 'criminal' and 'cruel' book.
“Belushi made people's career possible,” he said, “mine would be one of them. There are many people who slept on John Belushi's couch.
'There are many people who stayed in his house for free until they made it in New York. And I am one. He died in an unfortunate way, but man, he was still the best stage actor I have ever seen. '
Murray said he had refused to contribute to Wired as' something smoke funny 'and said:' I wanted nothing to do with it. It went exactly where I thought it was going. Even worse than I thought it was going. The title alone was cold. '
He claimed that jealousy played a role in writing the book and said: 'The most famous person who comes from Wheaton, Illinois, is John Belushi. The second most famous person is Harold Red Grange, the football player. And the third most famous person who comes from wheaton, Illinois, is Bob Woodward. '
“So there is all my controversy for today,” he concluded. That's all I have. I have a bone about that. You know, I have a bone for Woodward, since I read those five pages. '
Murray led to a friendship with Blues Brothers Star Belushi in 1974 when he became a member of the National Lampoon Radio Hour.
Belushi was a Hollywood icon that is best known for its role in the 1980 brothers (depicted with co-star than Aykroyd)

Murray would go live with Belushi at season 2 from Saturday Night.
His iconic Ghostbusters role as Peter Venkman in 1984 was originally intended for Belushi, who died two years before the release.
Belushi's co-star and good friend Dan Aykroyd as well as his widow Judith Belushi Pisano belonged to the interviewee for Wired, but later hit the book for its content.
Aykroyd called Wired 'Pulpy and Trashy' while Pisano said it was “only about drugs and madness, and it wasn't even accurate.”
Aykroyd said: “[Woodward] Spoke with me about an hour and a half, and you know things are in it [the book] I can't remember that I said to him, and first of all, the book, I have shifted fragments of it, it's really pulpy and trashy, it's not well written at all, and Bob Woodward … here was a man with a very respectable career – here –
“All men of the president, the brothers, and his research and newspaper work – and suddenly he does a book called the short life and fast times of John Belushi, what a kind of cheap, you know …
“He just goes down in that shady world, and I think he really avoided many problems in the book. He certainly avoided the issue of what a funbag John was, what a great guy he was, what a warm, humorous, real, you know … worried and smart, well -trained, well -read individual who was this guy. How did he become so successful?
“He was smart, you know, he not only got his break, and he had to work for what he had, and Woodward skirts that completely, and it is a depressing, filthy, tragic book.”
Pisano later released her own book, Samurai Widow in 1990 to fight the 'exploiting' Wired, followed by Belushi: A Biography With Tanner Colby.
Wired was later adapted to a critically peked feature film from 1989, in which Belushi was played by Michael Chiklis and Woodward by JT Walsh.
Cathy Smith, the woman who injected Belushi with the fatal combination of drugs, was initially accused of second -degree murder, but made a plea with officers of justice who convicts her to manslaughter.
Smith was a backup singer and Groupie known in Belushi's group Rock and Roll friends.
She spent 15 months in prison because she gave him the drugs, then became a legal secretary and lived quietly in British Columbia, Canada, until her death at the age of 73 in 2020.

Thanks to the research report of the couple, the true size of Watergate was discovered and Nixon was eventually forced to resign from the office in 1974.
The Watergate scandal came from a break in the office of the Democratic National Committee in 1972.
The men who burglaries were later connected to President Richard Nixon, and it was revealed that they were trying to steal documents and remove telephones.
The book by Woodward and Bernstein about the scandal, all men of the president became a bestseller and was later changed to a 1976 film with Robert Redford as Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Bernstein.
