      Hold up. Full stop. Stop everything you are doing. Everything. And read this interview with Quincy Jones. It's the craziest, juiciest, tell-all interview I've ever read. It's so crazy (in a good way) I thought it was a spoof.http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-in-conversation.html …

      Have listened to Richard Pryor my whole life. Most of what I learned about storytelling and public speaking I got from listening to his tapes & watching his concerts as a kid. I'd never seen this. At 14:50, Richard openly talks about being bi-sexual. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e34yv

          You ever see the Richard Pryor roast from back in the day? He touches on some things there, too, when it's his turn on the mic. And blows up Paul Mooney!

          Richard Pryor's act was based on his experiences, many of which were painful. That's the context behind his swearing. Modern comedians do it because he did it, not to help the joke. Anyway, many thought his "Satin Doll" routine in "JoJo Dancer" was a nod to his actual sexuality.

          ...and why is his sexuality relevant to anything? Are we going to uncover the bombshell that his favorite color was yellow next?

          I had never seen this nor did I ever know about his bisexuality. Its not a big deal. Just one of those “well I never knew that or would have guessed that” moments, to me. 😁 #RIPToTheLegend

          I knew this because a friend of mine lived in a Harlem brownstone and got stories from the old ladies about him having threesomes with some other celebs. Doesn’t surprise me!
