Richard Pryor died earlier this evening. To me he remains one of the greatest comedians. I remember going to see his concert films at the movies and just laughing. He could take a serious moment and turn it into a side splitting laugh.
Also dead today is Gene McCarthy. A former senator and twice candiate for the president of these here United States. Clean for Gene is a ralling cry that most kids today will have no idea about. He may not have ever had a serious chance for the presidency, he was considered too liberal, but he helped shake things up a bit back in the sixties and early seventies.

Thanks for the tribute to Richard Pryor. His comedy will stand the test of time and censorship. What a uniquely funny man.
He might have been a communist though. ;) At least the one person who thinks thats possible has also passed into the next life. Rest in peace oh public entertainers!
