Rawest of the raw...

I was almost hesitant to post this because it's borderline exploitative of Richard Pryor's well-documented addiction issues, laying completely bare his trademark mix of vulnerability and "I don't give a fuck"-ness. Nostrels full of cola or not, there is so much brilliance on display. I never met the man, so forgive me for talking out of school, but I think we witness real raw emotion in this vid -- the actual man behind the act. There is real frustration, anger, and candor. Maybe this poor interviewer (also a school teacher) didn't deserve this onslaught/tirade/diatribe, but if there's one thing I've learned about comedy from Richard Pryor, it's that just simply tellin' it like it is can be the rawest, most effective, and funniest shit out there (even if not a single second of it can be viewed on television - I mean, when was the last time you saw a interviewee ask to play with the interviewer's dick?). Thank lordy for the interwebs!
