richard pryor dies at 65

Here's the story from CNN.

(CNN) -- Groundbreaking Comedian Richard Pryor died Saturday of a heart attack, his wife told CNN. He was 65.
Pryor, who had been ill with multiple sclerosis, died at Encino Hospital near Los Angeles, at 7:58 a.m. PT. Jennifer Lee Pryor tried to revive him before paramedics arrived and took him to the hospital, she said.
"He enjoyed life right up until the end," she said. "At the end there was a smile on his face."
Pryor, who was born in Peoria, Illinois, on December 1, 1940, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1986.
"He was able to turn pain into comedy," his wife said. "He let the world see it, and that was his inspiration too.
"People said, 'If he can do it, I can do it.' "

Richard Pryor Live on Sunset Strip was funny as hell.

And the stuff with Wilder was also great - Silver Streak, Stir Crazy.

RIP, Richard.

I got these quotes off of various sites...


"I went to Zimbabwe...I know how white people feel in America now, relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren't coming after me!"

"Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings... and lawyers."



A couple of the more "dirty" ones I was speaking of earlier...

"I like makin' love myself, and I can make love for about three minutes. I do about three minutes of serious fuckin', then I need eight hours sleep! And a bowl of Wheaties!"

"
There are two billion chinese people livin' in China. That's how you know someone's doing some serious fucking... "
