This is a link to an interview Danny did with Playboy magazine when he was working on Coneheads.I wanna say around 1991 or so-I have it at home-but I'm not sure of the exact month.Some of it sounds/reads like it was done yesterday...

Dan Aykroyd: The Playboy Interview

[Bismo]

Great to read that, Elwood, thanks! I was especially taken by this quote:

Aykroyd: The major expense of Blues Brothers was not the seventy police cars we bought from the Chicago Police Department. We paid only $700 each for them. the major expense was labor, so that's good, it gets people working, and why shouldn't the profits of the megacorporations be reinvested in the trades of this industry? If I write a big show and it costs a lot of money, I make no apologies. I'd be a wealthier made today and a better businessman if I sat down and wrote small movies that cost little and brought in lots


So the moral? To save the economy, make more Blues Brothers movies now!!

"Something's stirring deep down in the cone."



That particular issue, autographed by Pamela, was selling for $30.

You can get a mint copy for around $10 bucks.

And then Takk let us know that 10 years earlier there was also a "Playgirl" interview.



I'm sure the ladies bought this one for the exclusive interview with Richard Simmons. lol

This picture provided by Christie's shows a Feb. 1993 Stephen Wayda photograph of Pamela Anderson and Dan Aykroyd. It is one of 125 items of original art from the Playboy Enterprises archive up for sale at a Dec. 8 auction at Christie's in New York dubbed "The Year of the Rabbit."

It's a different pic from the Playboy cover, which you can still find online here and there.

I actually read a blurb yesterday while surfing TV Tropes that while Playgirl was initially intended for ladies, most of its subscribers are gay men. :D That's okay, I subscribe to OUT, which is a gay culture mag aimed at men. (Their sister mag The Advocate is a general LGBT publication.)
