	Dick Gregory : The Light Side: The Dark Side - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The end of the '60s was a time of changing cultural and moral values, especially when it came to matters of race, so it's natural that 1969 would see the return of Dick Gregory to the speaking circuit, following his run for the White House.
		There's a bit of material here that would also appear on the Frankenstein album (notably a section about "tricks"), but for the most part the delivery here is a bit lower key and less "groovy" and any duplications are tolerable.
		The Light Side: The Dark Side is certainly a welcome return to the stage for Gregory, and even if there are some faults to the record (the last side is maybe a bit repetitive), it's still an important document.
