When I was a kid, there was Eddie and Richard. Those were like, the only comedians in the whole world. There was Sam Kinison, I guess, but all the white guys acted like they were high on coke. Richard always seemed hunted when he was onstage. His monologues always felt like you were talking in an alley. (Charlie Murphy has some of that.) Eddie was more accessible, and less political. But even in the 80s, in the suburbs, Richard had a different kind of intellectual danger. Like Ray Davies, but more ferocious. Like Alan Dugan too, I think, but on TV.
