On June 9, 1980, Pryor set himself on fire after freebasing cocaine while drinking 151-proof rum. He ran down Parthenia St. from his Northridge, California home until subdued by police. He was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for the burns covering more than half of his body. Pryor spent six weeks in recovery at the Grossman Burn Center at Sherman Oaks Hospital.

.......At the end of the bit, he poked fun at people who told jokes about it by waving a lit match and saying, "What's this? It's Richard Pryor running down the street."

  • @jewboy13z In the early 80's Pryor was freebasing cocaine while drinking and set himself on fire. He ran out of his house down a street in Northridge, CA. It's a pretty well know incident for people who know about Pryor.

  • @brnleague99 I thought they were anti-klansmen, since they wore brown instead of white, like a black klan. Unless I got a copy that wasn't colored properly. Another great album though.

  • @GrandFunker I like the cover of "Was It Something I Said?" where he's surrounded by Klansmen.

  • "That nigger's crazy!" Easily one of the best comedy albums ever released. I wore out the lp!
