Patrice O'Neal Stroke

I knew about it but guess the problem is most here don't listen to Opie and Anthony were it was first announced.
 
I hope he is doing OK. A lot of O&A fans do not like him but I always seem to enjoy his conversations with them.
 
O&A had a nice tribute to him today and will also this weekend.

Remembering Patrice O'Neal
This weekend, The Opie & Anthony Show pays tribute to a man known and loved by the hosts and audience of the show, Patrice O’Neal. Patrice made an impact on so many of those who got to hear him. We celebrate his life with our favorite moments from his history on The Opie & Anthony Show. Remember Patrice with us, as we feature his greatest appearances on the show all weekend long.
 
I've polled a few people at work if they knew who Patrice was. Most said no. I was pretty surprised
 
Howard mentioned it in passing and acted like he had no idea what Patrice was up to. He knew damn well that he was a regular on the O&A show. Mad a passing mention that he must have offended him at one point because he didn't remember Patrice's name.

Patrice O’Neal’s final comedy album, ‘Mr. P,’ released
By Sarah Anne Hughes

Patrice O'Neal. (Paul Hawthorne - GETTY IMAGES) The final comedy album recorded by Patrice O’Neal, the 41-year-old comedian and actor who died from complications of a stroke in late November, has been released.

Just a day after going on sale, “Mr. P,†a collection of 17 tracks recorded in D.C. last April, is one of the best selling albums on iTunes, where it’s been in the top 10, and Amazon.

Writing for the Boston Globe, Nick A. Zaino III said the album is “a good showcase for who he was as a comic - explosively funny, disconcerting, and charismatic.†David Haglund of Slate, which is also owned by the Washington Post Company, praised O’Neal’s ability to make his audience lower this guard: “And so, once he’s ready, he can start talking about his life, often without even really telling jokes, and absolutely kill.â€

O’Neal’s untimely death caused an outpouring of tributes from his friends, fellow comics and fans. In the liner notes of “Mr. P†(found via the Montreal Gazette), comedian Colin Quinn writes, “If you want to understand what comedy is supposed to sound like, you have to listen to this. ... Contentious and antagonistic, he wants you to feel what he feels — the absurdity of the world. Patrice was pure comedian.â€


Rolling Stone subscribers can also read a tribute to O’Neal in the magazine’s latest issu. A NSFW excerpt from the “Mr. P†can be heard on O’Neal’s official Web site.
