I was excited to read this chapter because Pryor consistently gets referenced as being one of the best comics of all time. I knew about his heavy drug use but was not aware of his rage issues. I thought the closing of the chapter on pg. 63 was interesting "The power of Pryor's comedy has its drawbacks as well. Plenty of comedians, white and black, emulated his rough language and in-your-face style but missed the empathy and vulnerbaility that informed it."
