Here comes trouble Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 What a character !!. He was the first of the "blue" comedians to make it big. Lenny Bruce was crucified and Redd Foxx's humor was considered pornographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I don't think that the moniker of "legend' fits....the dude was a complete crack head....and more coke went through his nose than the local cola bottling plant...... Was a pretty funny dude in his heyday though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusPuppis Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I don't think that the moniker of "legend' fits.... I dont see how it wouldnt fit. He had a long career spanning many many years. He is considered one of the greatest comedians of all-time and I have to agree. Look past the movies he did (some were funny as hell) to his stand-up stuff and you'll see the "legend" in him. Drugs cant write someone off as a legend IMO. Where would we be if we did that? lol. Hendrix = gone. Hunter S. Thompson (R.I.P) = gone. EveryMusicianFromThe60'sand70'sThatWasWorthADamn = gone. R.I.P Richy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
