A phrase that I believe is very overused in entertainment is "keeping it real." To some, that means holding nothing back when describing one's emotions or series of events. To me, however, the phrase means being honest to a fault. And no one did that better than Richard Pryor. And Live on the Sunset Strip is the best example of an artist totally exposed. Keeping in mind that this was Pryor's return to stand-up after the fire, he had me from the moment he walked on stage and asked if anyone had a light. And it does not get any realer than that.
