A murder no one is laughing about. Yet when Pryor tells the story in very raw terms, and with his comic talent, the audience laughs. As a time-traveling trickster, Pryor is preparing the audience, lubricating their psychic joints-spiritually, psychologically, politically-foreshadowing today's reckoning. It can be checked out on Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople and cultures draw on a mix of archetypes, the attributes of personality that make them who they are-Warrior, Caretaker, Magician, Fool, Hero, Sage-and Trickster. \u003ci\u003eTricking Power into Performing Acts of Love\u003c\/i\u003e is about how grownups who have retained the ability to be playful as they were when a child view and behave in the world. Such a grownup will consciously or unconsciously engage with the Trickster, and \u003ci\u003eTricking Power into Performing Acts of Love\u003c\/i\u003e is about what could happen if society made more of that animating force.
