Killa-What?:
Being a fan of Pryor's live work, I picked up a few releases, this being one of them. It's the story of Richard from friends and family that knew him. From his childhood to first concerts, movies. Omit the logic is a great title considering that he set himself on fire and goes way beyond rational explanation. I'm sure he was troubled soul like a lot of comedians and tries to show how and why of Richards life
