It's a pity he wasted so much

It's a pity he wasted so much time on his born-again Xtian activities. But then again, Richard Penniman wouldn't have been Little RIchard without his unique tutti-frutti blend of natural talent, sexual ambiguity, religious mania, and sex/drugs/rock'n'roll.

He played a hilarious cameo role in "Down and Out in Beverly Hills".

"sexual ambiguity, religious mania, and sex/drugs/rock'n'roll."

I think it was the lack of ambiguity in his sexuality which caused him so much misery. As I understand it, he was a bible belt Baptist from Macon Georgia, who were and are very anti gay
