We've lost a legend. Word has just broken that comedian Rudy Ray Moore - best known for classic blaxploitation film Dolemite - has died from complications of diabetes. He was eighty one.
That's really kind of eery because I was just watching the trailer for DOLEMITE over the weekend. RIP.

A real loss. One of my best friends met him about 10 years ago. He was playing a show in the DC area, my friend's friend worked at the hotel where Mr. Moore was staying, and my very white friend waited in the lobby the next morning until Rudy came down for his coffee. Was very nice and gracious as well and I think my friend got free tickets to his concert that night.
The more I read this on different websites the more depressed I get. R. I. P.
Good night sweet prince.
