Dennis and Richard Pryor

[Needleinthehay]

Recently watched a fascinating doc on Richard Pryor called Omit the logic...I noticed a lot of similarities to Dennis
They both married the same woman twice (richard did this with 2 different women)
They both were high on cocaine and shot their girlfriends car
They both had crazy cocaine/alcohol addictions that ended up affecting their careers and left almost broke even though they made millions
They both had dads that beat the crap out of them
They both basically slept with any woman they could
They both lit themselves on fire and ran down the street while burning (oh wait, dennis didnt do that)

I know some of those things aren't super rare for people born around their time, but the first 3 i thought were pretty specific...wonder if they ever hung out? I know Richard lived in the valley while Dennis was mostly near Venice, but wonder if they wouldve liked eachother or hated eachother....
