This is from April 30’s episode of Larry King Live, and… well… I first thought Dan Aykroyd was kidding. Right? I mean, the way he suggests that aliens were watching 9/11, and then in the same sentence suggests that they didn’t see it—otherwise we’d all be dead? His weird, non-sequitur, 30-years-too-late condemnation of cocaine? The texting while driving thing? At any rate, this is the most unhinged, out-of-touch rant since Andy Rooney, and maybe it’s just a joke. But maybe we should be just a little bit worried, too, huh?

I need a drink.

Erik, the Yes and No next to The Tube has Crystal Head Vodka. Just sayin’….
Who wants to get some Crystal Head Vodka after work?
@Graham: C’mon, we aren’t waiting until after work! That’s forever from now. Plans are currently underway to procure some Crystal Head Vodka this afternoon.
@Erik: So what you’re saying is that I should stop by the Merc offices for some Slurpees and Crystal Head Vodka?
@Graham: Yes. Please bring the Crystal Head Vodka.
@Erik: So the plan was to convince someone else to buy the $50 bottle of Dan Akroyd booze?
@Graham: Yes. Also, bring Slurpees.
@Graham: And Ironman straws.
This entire exchange makes me want to drink Earnie Hudson brand vodka with no one.
A couple years ago I was a tour guide at a haunted house on Martha’s Vineyard- Aykroyd has a house there- and he swung in and paid for the whole (long) line of people’s admissions and left- didn’t hang to take credit, didn’t stay to see the show. Rant or no rant- that kind of generosity gives him a pass in my book.
This was before I was abducted by conservative conspiracy creating aliens, of course.
