What is "mudbone"

Mudbone is a recurring character in Richard Pryor's stand-up shows. Debuting on the 1975 album ...Is It Something I Said?, Mudbone is easily Pryor's most famous creation. A wino philosopher born in Tupelo, Mississippi, his character was an alter-ego for Pryor.

During Pryor's concert film, Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip, the audience begins to yell "Do Mudbone!" and Pryor reluctantly resurrects the character.

Mudbone may refer to:

• Mudbone (character), a fictitious character played by Richard Pryor in his stand-up comedy shows
• Travelling Riverside Blues, a song by Robert Johnson sometimes known as "Mudbone" or "Mud Bone"
