It's just that I didn't know that there existed in Hollywood a Comic Mafia!
Guys who decide who is funny and who isn't and then blackballing them based
on their Mafia vote, regardless if most of the public think otherwise. That
to me is very unamerican. Guys like that "meathead" are very dangerous people.
Especially when that meathead dabbles into politics, ...he's becoming a *problem*.
If anybody needs to be hit it should be the meathead and not Jerry.
The Starmaker
Is "Jerry" a common name with these people? Is "Jerry" like the Italian version of "Paulie"??

RICHARD PRYOR'S FLAWED LEGACY
By STANLEY CROUCH
ON SATURDAY, Richard Pryor left this life and bequeathed to our culture
as much darkness as he did the light his extraordinary talent made
possible.
When we look at the remarkable descent this culture has made into smut,
contempt, vulgarity and the pornographic, those of us who are not
willing to drink the Kool-Aid marked "all's well" will have to address
the fact that it was the combination of confusion and comic genius that
made Pryor a much more negative influence than a positive one.
I do not mean positive in the way Bill Cosby was when his TV show
redefined situation comedy by turning away from all the stereotypes of
disorder and incompetence that were then and still are the basic
renditions of black American life in our mass media.
Richard Pryor was not that kind of a man. His was a different story.
Pryor was troubled, and he had seen things that so haunted him that the
comedian found it impossible to perform and ignore the lower-class
shadow worlds he had known so well, filled with pimps, prostitutes,
winos and abrasive types of one sort or another.
The vulgarity of his material, and the idea that a "real" black person
was a foul-mouthed type was his greatest influence. It was the result
of seeing the breaking of "white" convention as a form of "authentic"
definition.
Pryor reached for anything that would make white America uncomfortable
and would prop up a smug belief among black Americans that they were
always "more cool" and more ready to "face life" than the members of
majority culture.
Along the way, Pryor made too many people feel that the n-word was open
currency and was more accurate than any other word used to describe or
address a black person.
In the dung piles of pimp and gangster rap we hear from slime meisters
like Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent, the worst of Pryor's influence has been
turned into an aspect of the new minstrelsy in which millions of
dollars are made by "normalizing" demeaning imagery and misogyny.
What is so unfortunate is that the heaviest of Pryor's gifts was
largely ignored by so many of those who praised the man when he was
alive and are now in the middle of deifying him.
The pathos and the frailty of the human soul alone in the world or
insecure or looking for something of meaning in a chaotic environment
were a bit too deep for all of the simple-minded clowns like Andrew
Dice Clay or those who thought that mere ethnicity was enough to define
one as funny, like the painfully square work of Paul Rodriguez.
Of course, Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam is the ultimate coon show
update of human cesspools, where "cutting edge" has come to mean
traveling ever more downward in the sewer.
In essence, Pryor stunned with his timing, his rhythm, his ability to
stand alone and fill the stage with three-dimensional characters
through his remarkably imaginative gift for an epic sweep of mimicry.
That nuanced mimicry crossed ethnic lines, stretched from young to old,
and gave poignancy to the comedian's revelations about the hurts and
the terrors of life.
The idea of "laughing to keep from crying" was central to his work and
has been diligently avoided by those who claim to owe so much to him.
As he revealed in his last performance films, Pryor understood the
prison he had built for himself and the shallow definitions that
smothered his audience's understanding of the humanity behind his work.
But, as they say, once the barn door has been opened, you cannot get
all of the animals to return by whistling. So we need to understand the
terrible mistakes this man of comic genius made and never settle for a
standard that is less than what he did at his very best, which was as
good as it has ever gotten.

Many blacks are wimps. They aren't the only race who has been enslaved
and dehumanized.

I'm glad you asked that question. You came to the right guy. I'm a
Hollywood insider. I know just about everything about famous people.
Famous people love me. I managed to creep into their inner circle
years ago by pretending to be a standup comic after taking lessons from
a real pro for 3 years and also reading as many books on the subject as
possible. Once they thought I was the real deal they opened up to me.
One really famous comic (I won't reveal his identity), told me there
is a hit out on Jerry Seinfeld and at least 50 comics have chipped in
financially to support the hit. One of them even offered to pop Jerry
himself, but the rest of them nixed the idea because it might be too
obvious.
So, that's the inside info, Starmaker - Seinfeld is going to die -
soon - the victim of a professional hit - paid for by fellow comics.
They can't stand Jerry because he became famous and made enough money
to never have to standup comedy again unless he wants to. He attained
what most standups really want - wild financial success that will
enable them to put an end to the drudgery of the standup life they
openly profess to love.
You read it first here, Starmaker. Seinfeld is going to be killed
- soon. That's the inside scoop.........Now, as for your question, do
I think he's funny? I don't think he's hilarious, but I did enjoy his
show, and I think he's probably a hard worker and maybe a pretty sharp
guy who is probably responsible to some degree for whatever success
he's had.........
My initial entry into this discussion came about as a result of
people talking about how important Richard Pryor'>Richard Pryor was as a social force
- that his comedy was somehow 'socially relevant', because he talked
about being black and having a mother who ran a whore-house, etc. To
me, Richard Pryor'>Richard Pryor was no more socially relevant than Professor Irwin
Corey or Jackie Vernon or Sam Kinnison or any number of comics who did
what they were supposed to do - work to get laughs.

Pryor Goes Out Fighting Against Animal Cruelty
A week before his death Saturday of a heart attack, Richard Pryor and his
wife Jennifer Lee Pryor sent a letter to an Indiana county sheriff
expressing outrage about an animal cruelty case.
The couple had learned that a St. Joseph County police officer, Curt
Seufert, was placed on administrative leave last month while state police
investigated whether he killed his girlfriend's dog. The Pryors' letter
urged that the ?oshocking? case be given prompt attention.
"We respectfully ask you to not let this be 'swept under the rug,'" read the
letter, signed by the groundbreaking comedian and his wife.
Sheriff Frank Canarecci said a police report indicated Seufert and his
girlfriend, Jennifer L. Radican, 27, a corporal with the South Bend Police
Department, had argued on Nov. 25. The next day, Radican returned home to
find one of her two dogs dead in the basement.
Jennifer Pryor confirmed Tuesday to the South Bend Tribune that the couple
sent the letter to the sheriff.
"We were so disturbed by that," she said. "Richard and I have always had a
strong affinity for animals."
The internal investigation is ongoing, and no decision has yet been made,
according to Canarecci.

Richard Pryor Sues Record Label
Comedian Richard Pryor finds nothing funny about the fact that 11 of his
recordings are being sold by Universal Music Group without a license,
according to his lawsuit against the music conglomerate filed Wednesday in
Los Angeles Superior Court.
Pryor, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, is seeking unspecified damages
for unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment and other claims after
recently realizing that UMG was claiming to have licensed such titles as
'Are You Serious?,' 'Wizard of Comedy,' 'Black Ben and the Blacksmith,'
'Richard Pryor, I Ain?Tt Lied Yet,' 'Everything?Ts Big' and others,
according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In the complaint, Pryor accuses the company of "reaping substantial profits
from (the recordings) without ever having acquired any rights in such
recordings."

If you don't want to have much to do with known drug addicts, you
won't have much of a career in Hollywood.
