MICHAEL LOO Said to DAVE DRUM about Peoria 530


ML>  ML> the most notable thing being that he may have been born in a
ML>  ML> brothel in Peoria, but he moved to California as soon as he
ML>  ML> knew any better.

ML>  DD> And Pryor first to moved to Ohio to get his stand-up career off
ML>  DD> the  ground. Californica came relatively late in his career
ML>  DD> .... when he  began making the flickers and human torch stuff.

ML> As I said, as soon as he knew any better.

ML> Anyhow, I am not venturing to suggest an explanation for
ML> this spate of comedians emanating from the middle of your
ML> great state.
