Richard Pryor Died at 65 (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/12/11/ap/entertainment/mainD8EDMTHGA.shtml)
I'll always remember that one album that had the Exorcist ("hey girl, get that cross outyer ******") and Stir Crazy, to name only two.
RIP to a comedic legend.
I just watched Superman 3 the other day on DVD.
Pryor was a comic genius.
Rest In Peace dude
Make 'em laugh in Heaven!
I thought he was dead already. Wasn't the last movie he made David Lynch's Lost Highway way back in 1997? What has he been doing since?
Anyways, I'll miss him, but I guess not as much as I should since I've spent my grievance of his departure some number of years ago. Bizarre.

Where is this 65? Remind me never to go there!
He's been off the radar for a few years because he had MS and has been quite sick.
I loved his classic SNL skit with Belushi, Samurai Bellboy.
If you never heard any of them, you should really look up his albums from the 70's. The guy was a ground breaker.

You better believe he was. It really saddens me to know that Pryor is dead. My wife and I were just talking about him recently, and she was under the impression that he had died sometime back.
The man was a comedic genius and will be seriously missed. Just imagine what the world would be like without Blazing Saddles?
