Oh man, I just saw a TV report that had me in tears.
On the show "The Insider," they had a VERY rare look at Richard Pryor as he is right now.

He's got Muliple Sclrosis really bad, he can't even talk.
His mind is still good, but his body is shot.
So tragic. :cry:

To me, like it was for Reagan in the last few years, it will be a blessing for Pryor when he dies, so he is out of the pain.

1. He announced his diagnosis in '91 or '92. That disease....
is another long, hard slog.

2. That is really sad.
Pryor was an immensly talented man.
