Richard Pryor

You may or may not be familiar with the name in the title of this post. He was a very very popular stand up comedian, who also starred in several movies- and a few with Gene Wilder which are all great. Anyway besides being a actor and comedian he was pretty controversial. It was no secret that he did several drugs including cocaine. I'm not saying that to down him or speak ill of the dead. But he mentioned his love of cocaine during the stand up routine I am currently watching and it got me thinning about if being more controversial made him more popular or not. Thoughts? Ideas? Anybody a fan of his?
