Richard Pryor
I was looking for something to watch on TV yesterday and noticed that one channel was doing a few minutes on Richard Pryor. It became clear that this was an obituary.
He hosted one of the funniest episodes of the original SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Two years later Jackson Browne had a song about his (Jackson Browne's) tour bus. He lists the creature comforts his band has: "We've got Country and Western on the bus, R & B, we've got disco, and eight-tracks and cassettes in stereo, we've got time to think of the ones we love while the miles roll away -- and we've got Richard Pryor on the video..."
It was a long road.
