I lived for three years in Peoria, Illinois. Home of Richard Pryor. They knew it.
Meanwhile there is an expression -- "will it play in Peoria?"
I played in Peoria. Pryor, without a doubt, played and made it from Peoria too.
His comedy is real. His characters were 'out there' -- but -- he kept real, not a model nor a forgery. Pittsburgh and Peoria are bad places to be artificial.
I'll be interested in reading what is said in Peoria about Pryor.
