RIP Paul Mooney 1941-2021

Comedian/Actor/Writer Paul Mooney has died at 79. He was known for the writing he did with Richard Pryor. If Pryor is considered to be the greatest comedian of all time, Mooney (who wrote many jokes for him), deserves a lot of credit! He wrote for several of Pryor’s comedy specials and he was brought in to write on the 1975 SNL that Pryor hosted. That “word association” sketch is considered to be one of the all time greatest SNL sketches ever!

Mooney also wrote for Sanford and Son, In Living Color, and Chappelle's Show. He was also an actor with notable roles in The Buddy Holly Story, Hollywood Shuffle, Bamboozled, and more.

Bonito concierto el de Rip Lee Pryor, hijo de Snooky Pryor, ayer en la sala Clamores. No todos los días puede verse a un genuino bluesman de Chicago, y no defraudó las expectativas, de un principio más frío a un final con la sala puesta en pie. Sinceramente, ni conocía a Rip Lee Pryor. Me dijo Diego Big Mama si íbamos a verle, y la crónica que puedo ofrecer es casual, superficial y dominguera. 

Por momentos, a mí al menos, se hace duro escuchar a un bluesman sin grupo, oír a un “one man band” durante mas de hora y media (con descanso de 10 minutos). Rip Lee ofreció un repertorio básicamente upbeat, rítmico, con algunas canciones anunciadas directamente como rock and roll, salpicado de otros números más lentos y espaciosos. Títulos como “Drip Drop”, “Pitch A Boogie Woogie” o “Nobody But Me”, una versión de Sonny Boy Williamson  (y una canción que recordaba poderosamente a su “Good Morning Little Schoolgirl”), un par con la misma línea de acordes de “Long Tall Shorty”, y un corte muy parecido a “Pledging My Time” de Bob Dylan. Circular, ultra clásico, y con denominación de origen. Un brillante regreso al pasado. Al Nylon.

RIP PAUL MOONEY

Paul Mooney was a little before my time but when I got old enough I would see him on different shows. I would think WOW this man 

TELLS IT LIKE A T-I IS.

He do not sugar coat anything he said about white folks. The genius of it was Mr. Mooney not only made you laugh while he told the truth about white folks, he made them laugh at their own selves. And he pulled this off with a straight face. The OG of I said what I said!

Paul Gladney (August 4, 1941 – May 19, 2021), better known by the stage name Paul Mooney, was an American comedian writer, social critic, and actor, best known as a writer for comedian Richard Pryor and for his collaborations with Redd Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle.

Mooney initially appeared in the sketches "Ask a Black Dude" and "Mooney at the Movies" on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show.  Mooney initially appeared in the sketches "Ask a Black Dude"  Mooney ad-libbed the "answers to life's most unsolvable mysteries" such as "Why do white people love Wayne Brady?" (Answer: "Because Wayne Brady makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.")

#RipPaulMooney 🙏🏾🕊💔 Paul Mooney was a fearless and brilliant truthsayer and genius. He was dangerously sharp and quick witted and I-can’t-breathe, laugh-til-you-cry funny. Think of any other comedian that people were actually afraid of. That’s how dangerous he was because he spoke the truth so unapologetically without fear and never held his tongue for NUHBADDY. And he loved black people as much as he hated racism... that combination is dangerous in America. This might sound weird but he always reminded me of Tupac, Pretty yet acid, briliiant and talented and unabashedly pro black. #Rip to Legend 🖤🖤🖤🙏🏾🎙 The comedy world is in mourning today as Paul Mooney (born Paul Gladney) has passed away at the age of 79 from a heart attack. Mooney wrote some of Pryor's routines for his appearance on Saturday Night Live, co-wrote his material for the Live on the Sunset Strip, Bicentennial Ni**er, and Is It Something I Said albums, and Pryor's film Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling. As the head writer for The Richard Pryor Show, he gave many young comics, such as Robin Williams, Sandra Bernhard, Marsha Warfield, John Witherspoon, and Tim Reid, their first break into show business. Mooney also wrote for Redd Foxx's Sanford and Son and Good Times, acted in several cult classics including Which Way Is Up?, Bustin' Loose, Hollywood Shuffle, and portrayed singer/songwriter Sam Cooke in The Buddy Holly Story. He was the head writer for the first year of Fox's In Living Color, inspiring the character Homey D. Clown, played by Damon Wayans. Mooney later went on to play Wayans' father in the Spike Lee film Bamboozled as the comedian Junebug. Mooney initially appeared in the sketches "Ask a Black Dude" and "Mooney at the Movies" on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show. He later appeared as Negrodamus, an African American version of Nostradamus. Mooney most recently acted in BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood, a parody of reality television, and was in 2016’s Meet the Blacks. In November 2014, Paul's brother announced that Mooney has prostate cancer. #rippaulmooney #ComedicGenius #unapologeticallyblack #BlackVoicesMatter #blackbrilliance https://www.instagram.com/p/CPEPluCFbWh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Paul Mooney, actor and comedian, has died Mooney’s daughter, Spring Mooney, also took to Twitter with the news, saying her “best friend” has died. Mooney passed away from a heart attack on Wednesday morning in Oakland, California. The comedian was from Shreveport, Louisiana, and got his start as a writer for Richard Pryor. He went on to write for the sketch hit “In Living Color” and often appeared in skits on Dave Chappelle’s Comedy Central show. He played Sam Cooke in 1978’s “The Buddy Holly Story” and appeared in Spike Lee’s 2000 movie “Bamboozled.” Tributes to Mooney from the entertainment community poured in on social media. Director Ava DuVernay wrote: “Paul Mooney. A comedy giant. I recall listening to his RACE album in college and how formative it was. Yeah, the jokes. But more so, the freedom. He spoke freely and fearlessly about feelings and experiences others found difficult to express. May he be truly free now. Rest, sir.” ‘RIP comedy legend Paul Mooney! You were both funny and poignant. So happy to have witnessed your genius live,” Viola Davis wrote in a tweet. “Rest well!!! Pour down some laughter here. We need it.” Source link Orbem News #'hasdied-CNN #'Bamboozled'and'Chappelle'sShow'actorandcomedian #Actor #comedian #died #entertainment #Mooney #Paul #PaulMooney

Deadpool 2: Who is Cable?

Now that we've met Josh Brolin as Cable in Deadpool 2, the bigger question is...who the hell is Cable?

Deadpool 2

X-Men

Marvel

20th Century Fox

With Cable making his film debut in Deadpool 2, where he's played by Josh Brolin (you know, the guy in a little indie movie called Avengers: Infinity War), it’s been a common refrain amongst casual comics fans lately to ask those of us steeped in the folklore “Who is Cable and why should I care?”

Five hours later, when our response ends with a pile of X-Men comics being used to light an effigy of Bob Harras while we chant “NO MORE RETCONS! NO MORE RETCONS!” many of those casual fans are often scared away from the X-Men, comics in general, and our homes.

I’m here today to give you a clear, concise rundown of the history of Nathan Christopher Charles Summers...ha! Almost got it out with a straight face. The reality is Cable is a continuity black hole, but there’s a reason why he’s enduringly popular and I’m going to explain it to you in one sentence:

He’s a badass soldier from the future.

That’s the core of his appeal. There are layers (and layers and layers and layers...sweet Jesus are there layers) added over that, but at his core, he’s always just been a badass soldier from the future trying to build a badass army to prevent his awful future from coming to pass.

See related 

Deadpool 2: Who is Domino?

Deadpool 2: Who Are X-Force? A Brief History

Deadpool 2: Who is Shatterstar?

Cable was introduced in 1990 to be a new mentor to the second generation of X-students, the New Mutants. He was more militaristic than his predecessors: Charles Xavier, the secretly monstrous founder of the Xavier school, and Magneto, the surprisingly incompetent reformed nemesis. He also showed up packing heat - he was covered in giant guns to the point where he eventually became a parody/poster child for the excesses of '90s comics. But at the same time, he was placed at the center of the third age of X-Men comics, one defined by Apocalypse and soapy family relationships.

Cable was eventually revealed to be Nathan Christopher Summers, the child of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, taken into the future to save his life after he was infected with a virus that caused his body to morph into a pile of loose technology. While there, he discovered that he was destined to take down Apocalypse, the nigh-immortal mutant who eventually takes over the world and turns it into a Darwinist shitscape. He jumps back in time and takes control of the New Mutants to help further that goal.

He becomes an interesting case study in comics storytelling - almost a decade after his first introduction, he actually succeeds in destroying Apocalypse and averting his terrible future (don’t worry, it’s comics: Apocalypse gets better). That set him adrift for a little while, but his core stayed the same. He was a badass soldier from the future, and he stayed that way whether he was fighting brushfire wars in eastern Europe, protecting a mutant messiah as they’re chased through the future like it’s Lone Wolf and X-Cub, or saving the world with his omega level telepathy and telekinesis after his techno-organic virus was completely cured.

His link to Deadpool comes mostly from two things: they were both created by Rob Liefeld around the same time, and they shared the headlining role in one of Marvel’s better mainline hero books of the aughts, Cable and Deadpool. In that, Nate was mostly just the straight man in a straightforward superhero action/humor comic. Deadpool would do his thing (Bugs Bunny with an arsenal) while Cable did his (overpowered messiah saving the world with over-the-top action). It was a solid examination of some of Cable’s more absurd character elements, while also being a good, epic X-Men comic.

Most recently, Cable had a new series announced at Marvel. In it, he’ll be (wait for it) a badass soldier from the future, jumping through time to protect the timestream. So it looks like they see what we’ve been enjoying, too.

ALTERNATE VERSIONS

- In the Age of Apocalypse, Nate Grey was a clone made by Mr. Sinister to eventually challenge Apocalypse’s dominance. He was shunted to the 616 reality at the end of that mini-event and served no purpose in the main universe for a little while, until he was later reimagined as a weird mutant shaman and continued to serve no purpose but without being a direct rip on Cable.

- Ultimate Cable is genuinely funny. The Ultimate Universe was a stripped down version of the main Marvel universe, a direct response to '90s excesses in convoluted continuity and overused guest appearances. With that in mind, Ultimate Cable was actually a future version of Wolverine.

- Cable also appeared as a playable character in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. He had a giant gun beam spam move, and anyone who chose him was of loose morals.

KEY STORIES

New Mutants #87 - Cable’s first appearance. It’s easy to see why he got so many people pumped. Rob Liefeld’s art, while not everyone's cup of tea, was also full of energy and enthusiasm and a lot of fun to look at.

X-Cutioner’s Song - This 1992 X-Men crossover is almost entirely gibberish. This is where the Summers connection was revealed, and it was all about Cable, Stryfe, Cyclops, Jean, and Apocalypse. The art, however, is actually pretty good. It’s got early Jae Lee, Greg Capullo, Andy Kubert ,and Brandon Peterson, and they do a great job of giving the reader something to do besides get a headache trying to chart a family tree.

The Twelve - Again, this is not a good comic, but it’s the pivot point of Cable’s story: here is where he stopped being Apocalypse’s nemesis and started being an ex-messiah.

Cable & Deadpool - This is where people started taking Cable seriously again. It was a fun, fairly uncomplicated superhero book that had great Deadpool moments, and did a lot of good character work on Nate.

Messiah Complex, Cable (vol. 2), Messiah War, and X-Men: Second Coming - This is my personal favorite era of X-Men comics. The three big crossovers are all very good, and focused on Cable and Hope. Cable’s solo book is also excellent, and you get some really good Badass Nathan Summers stuff in all of these.

X-Force vol. 4 - Simon Spurrier is a madman. This series is like if Grant Morrison played with Transformers as a kid: it’s got a vivid ‘80s feel to it, but it’s just weird and good. This series prominently features a character whose mutant power is you forget about him if you’re not looking directly at him. And it has Dr. Nemesis, who is hilarious.

Uncanny Avengers - Gerry Duggan’s latest version of the X-Men/Avengers hybrid team has actually morphed into a follow up to Cable & Deadpool. It’s a straightforward superhero action book, but it’s got good character bits and is almost Busiek-like in its appreciation of Avengers and X-Men continuity.

Deadpool 2 opens on May 18.

Robert E. Lee is worth remembering. Just don’t honor him

The old general still has work to do.

Touch not that statue of Robert E. Lee in lovely Charlottesville, Va. Let it stand, keep it handsome and dignified, but around it place plaques telling the curious that the man memorialized there was a traitor to his country who went to war so that white people could continue to own black people — to take their women and sell their children, rip apart families and, if need be, take the lives of the recalcitrant or the rebellious. Lee is not a man to be honored. He is, though, worthy of remembering.

Lee should be recalled as a slave owner who would not give them up. He should be remembered as one who felt so keenly about slavery that he renounced his commission in the U.S. Army and enlisted in the Confederate one, whose purpose was to keep emancipation at bay. I have the late Elizabeth Brown Pryor, author of “Reading the Man: A Portrait of Robert E. Lee Through His Private Letters,” to thank for setting the record straight. As I wrote in 2011, Brown’s essay for the New York Times gave us “a Lee who is at odds with the one of gauzy myth. He was not, as I once thought, the creature of crushing social and political pressure who had little choice but to pick his state over his country. In fact, various members of his own family stuck with the Union.”

Had so much fun at @kingbiscuitbluesfestival I actually think that Friday was my favorite day. It was so cool to see the legendary Tracy Nelson, legendary Reba Russell, and the fabulous Nikki Hill all in a row. That night I really enjoyed seeing Paul Thorn, with the incredible McCrary Sisters! I always try to meet a couple of my blues guitar heroes, and I got to meet Anson Funderburgh and then Larry McCray. I also met a young monster player in Josh Parks. It was the second time I’ve played (kinda LOL) @kingbiscuitbluesfestival as I busked with my friend Rip Lee Pryor. (A few years ago I played at Pascquale’s Tamales). I would love for me and my band to play one of the stages at #KBBF but I think those stages are mostly reserved for artists from Arkansas and I understand. We stayed at Sam’s in Tunica, didn’t gamble much but 3 times got 4 deuces. A fitting profitable finale... thems the blues.... (at King Biscuit Blues Festival)
