Dan Aykroyd

I learned so much about the original Cone Head on this Guy Raz “Great Creators” podcast featuring Dan Aykroyd. He has this great theatrical voice complete with a Canadian accent that almost sounds like a put-on but it’s not.  Growing up in Ottawa, Aykroyd dropped out of college to pursue comedy, writing and blues music.  By 23, he was writing for and performing on the OG SNL and within a few years he became a superstar with the likes of “The Blues Brothers”, “Ghostbusters”, and “Driving Miss Daisy”.  He is deep, he is brilliant and it’s such a joy to listen to him tell his life story.
