The first time I eever heard Richard Pryor was when I was about ten, no, twelve. Yeah, twelve. My parents and I had just had a huge discussion about how I was still too young to see PG-13 movie; they then took me to the CD store so I could buy something. I started looking through the comedy CD's and found a Richard Pryor CD by the name of "...iss it something I said?". They weren't too familiar with him (my parents are from Europe), and I definitely wasn't, so they bought it for me. I believe shortly after that day I became quite connected with the words 'Fuck' and 'Pussy'. I'm so happy I found that CD because it kept me from becoming the FUCKING PUSSY that I may have turned out to be.
It's like I almost feel I took the fact he was still the great living legend for granted, like he'd always be here fighting for truth no matter where he was or what was going on with Jennifer right there with him.
