 Link   Probably the best stand up comic ever.  His routine about cocaine addiction and setting himself on fire was classic.

He was the funniest man in the world... at least from '74 ("That Nigger's Crazy" album) to '85 ("Live and Smoking" video).
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

He was a genius comedian.  Which is why I hope he wouldn't mind me asking if he's going to be cremated...again.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
