A flight scheduled to leave Heathrow on Sunday, 15 April 2024, noting the passenger list, has James Tylor registered. Taylor’s plane departs Heathrow at 09:00 sharp.

Taylor, heading to Los Angeles for the first time in decades, has plans which will include paying his respects at John Belushi’s grave. There will likely be flowers of some description.

John Belushi died on Friday, 5 March 1982. The actor, singer, and filmmaker, if he’d still been alive, would have been 75 years old this year. Taylor, not having gotten past his hero’s death, obsesses over John Belushi more than any other talent.

A drabble consists of exactly 100 words. The read time is short. Please remain with the article for at least 30 seconds. I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment, highlight anything of interest, and clap.
