Man. Did not know he was as old as that.

He was cool.

He had a very weird drug filled life but a very funny man.

That sucks. Without Richard Pryor we'd have no Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock, and that wouldn't be good.

To clarify, Richard wasn't Murphy or Rock's father (to my knowledge), but I believe he was a major influence on the latter comedians careers. Seeing all three of them on one bill would have been amazing. Aint gonna happen now...

PS - From what I know about Richard Pryor I reckon he did well to get to 65 what with all the drink, drugs, firearms incidents, & Parkinson's disease.
