Richard Pryor

Harry suggested I do a tribute, so this is it.

Richard Pryor is dead. During his life he had a heart attack, was addicted to cocaine; and he almost died freebasing it. I remember thinking as a young teen that was terrible, because he was so funny. Despite those things he made some great movies. 'The Toy', 'Stir Crazy', and 'Harlem Nights.' He was one of the writers for one of my all time favorite films, 'Blazing Saddles.'

Rest in peace Richard, you made us laugh at our differences, very few comedians can claim that.
