“Oh I dreamed… I was Richard Pryor”

December 11th, 2005

“Oh I dreamed… I was Richard Pryor”

“Running on fire down the sunset strip.”

“And as the flames burned brighter”

“My head grew lighter”

“And I watched the flesh fall from my fingertips…”

“Ashes to ashes, and trust to dust”

“I don’t know what it means”

“to be burned by something that you love so much”

“I think I must be living the dream”

Chris Mills - “Chris Mills is Living the Dream” (listen here)

We featured this song on the last edition of the GlitchCast, which was initially available yesterday, December 10th. While eating breakfast this morning I learned that Richard Pryor passed away yesterday morning, and got a little chill down my spine. I’m not a superstitious person, but it’s an unlikely coincidence.

UK Times Online has an excellent, if brutally honest, look at his life until last year.
