Richard Pryor has died

[Hmph]

Richard Pryor has died today. shocking because he was just celebrating his birthday online and offline.

very, very sad because he helped so many get through some horrific times.

God rest his soul and I know God will get some good rib tickles from the man, Richard Pryor.

I just read about it a minute ago. He was one of the funniest men that ever lived. Sam, Rodney, and now Richard Pryor. I'll miss him.

[Hmph]

it's just so eerie because I was going to his site to post something. you could just talk to him via his site.

and my aunt who recently died has a photograph of her and him when he was in prison for shooting up his wife's car. she was a corrections officer in San Bernadino County. she's in her uniform and all w/him in the pic, they're both arm and arm smiling, him smiling moreso as his time was up.

I wanted to get a copy to him for old times sake, but never called my cousin because it felt awkward asking for a photo after her mom had just died.

we all used to sneak our older cousins or parents Richard Pryor LP's and play it for hours laughing. his LP's kept us out of trouble because it was safer for all of us to be in one group just laughing than alone doing something we wouldn't have no business doing -- you know how creative kids can be.

My mom has Pryor LP's. She never plays them around us and holds on to them like treasures. She said Pryor crossed all races, and made a lot of people think and talk about things at the right time.

Being Italian I guess we were the 1st niggas on tthe block My mom says his comedy helped her get through hard times.

I hear that Vin. Pryor was a timeless cat. My whole family got on phone to talk about his death. They were crying and laffin @ same time.

My dad said he helped many hold on and get through hard core segregation. Laughter stopped the pain or need to cry.

I liked his Mudbone character.
