Sad
Comedy Heaven gained a superstar today...
Richard Pryor was a true pioneer, following in the footsteps of Lenny Bruce and Redd Foxx; a man not afraid to tell it like it was. He may have had his personal demons, but he was a comedic genius, and arguably one of the big influences on most currently working comedians.
I salute you, Mr. Pryor. I don't believe in an afterlife but, if I did, I'd have no doubt that you're doing a sold-out command performance somewhere up there right now -- and knocking them re-dead.
