RIP Richard Pryor Ride
 
We should ride in honor of the man. Then go to someone's house and watch
Jo Jo Dancer, You're Life Is Calling.

he was raised in a brothel in Peoria..

i seem to remember an effort to have a street named after him.. but for some reason it never stuck. i wonder why? :o

Richard Pryor should be made an honorary nun, posthumously.

I was quite saddened to hear of this yesterday. Amongst all of my comedy collection, no one is better than Pryor. When I listen to Eddie I hear Pryor. When I listen to Lawrence, I hear Pryor. Both of them have acknowledged Pryor in their material and deservedly so.

Personally, I think we should watch Stir Crazy. Pryor and Wilder together was great.

There's a Richard Pryor St. in Peoria...saw it on the news last night. It's got a sign right under it that says "Formerly SHERIDAN RD." Ha!

They should name a brothel after him - Pryor's Place like the TV show.

I would be down for this. I need some mileage and it is beautiful out. Name a time and place and I'm there.

I will wear my all black polypropylene long underwear, in mourning of course.

Who will assume the important responsibility of being lit on fire during the ride? I will take care of the free-basing part of the equation.

We'll have to draw straws for that honor. I'll be reprising his role from The Wiz.

Well, my polypropylene longjohns are quite flammable and I will be smoking a cigarette or two today, so the possibilty is there...but I'm not promising anything.
