- Wired_(book) abstract "Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi, is a 1984 non-fiction book by American journalist Bob Woodward about the American actor and comedian John Belushi.Belushi's wife, Judith Belushi Pisano, has objected to the portrayal of her late husband in Woodward's book and has recently written another biography of Belushi, titled Belushi: A Biography. A similar book, also written by Pisano, is entitled Samurai Widow and was published in 1990 to counter the image of Belushi portrayed in Wired.The hardcover edition includes sixteen pages of black-and-white photos, front and back.Many friends and relatives of Belushi, including his wife Judy, Dan Aykroyd and James Belushi, agreed to be interviewed at length for the book, but later felt the final product was exploitative and not representative of the John Belushi they knew. In 2013 Tanner Colby, who had coauthored the 2005 Belushi: A Biography with Judy, wrote about how the book exposes Woodward's strengths and weaknesses as a journalist. While in the process of researching the anecdotes related in the book, he found that while many of them were true, Woodward missed, or didn't seek out, their meaning or context.For example, in Woodward's telling, a "lazy and undisciplined" Belushi is guided through the scene on the cafeteria line in Animal House by director John Landis, yet other actors present for that scene recall how much of it was improvised by the actor in one single take. Blair Brown told Colby she was still angry about how Woodward "tricked" her in describing her and Belushi preparing for a love scene in Continental Divide. Colby notes that Woodward devotes a single paragraph to Belushi's grandmother's funeral, where he hit a low point and resolved to get clean for that film, while diligently documenting every instance of drug abuse he turned up. "It's like someone wrote a biography of Michael Jordan in which all the stats and scores are correct, but you come away with the impression that Michael Jordan wasn't very good at playing basketball," he concluded.The book was later adapted into a feature film also called Wired in which Belushi was played by Michael Chiklis. Belushi's friends and family boycotted the film, which took many liberties from the book and turned it into a non-linear fantasy drama. The film was a commercially and critically panned failure.Dan Aykroyd, Fear, Lorne Michaels, Ed Begley, Jr., Penny Marshall, Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, Rick Moranis, Tony Curtis, Seymour Cassel, Jack Nicholson, Harry Dean Stanton, Dave Thomas, Carrie Fisher, Steven Spielberg, Treat Williams, Paul Simon, Ed. Weinberger, Chevy Chase, Cliff Robertson, Chrissie Hynde, John G. Avildsen, Debra Jo Fondren, Louis Malle, Tim Kazurinsky, Don Novello, Blair Brown, Steve Martin, Christopher Guest, James Belushi, Ronnie Wood, Nick Nolte, Richard Belzer, Alexander Godunov and Danny DeVito are among the celebrities mentioned throughout Belushi's career.".
