Dick Gregory mentions Mort Sahl

There's also an interesting clip (I accidentally chopped it off) of Dick saying that Richard Pryor ruined comics because of the profanity. He mentions how you could remove the cursing and it would still be as great, but children only remember the cursing, and as a result, they leave the genius part out and think you can curse your way out, which is also a belief Mort Sahl had. Neither comedian used profanity on their comedy albums. I don't mind, and wish people would just give it a chance anyway.
