Biography
Pat Hall passed on to the great gig in the sky on January 24, 2010.
Jim Wiggins on Pat Hall…
I first met Pat Hall about thirty years ago at the Old Vic Theatre on
Chicago's north side, recently converted from movies to stage shows. A
bunch of Chicago performers were there to do a benefit show for a very
sick kid and his family, and the honor of doing the first show into the
rehabbed venue…
Under the stage, in the new Green Room, there was gathered some of the
finest blues players in the city, and me, a stand up comedian. The odor of
pot was thick, the mood was quick, we all looked slick, ready to jam for a
little boy who was sick, a blues song lookin' for a site…
Right in the center of the room sat one guy holding court, like a squat,
hairy king. Black beret, black vest over a black 't', camo cargo pants,
boots, and a very large smirk on his beardy face. He looked like a
terrorist, and indeed he was…
I went directly to him, stuck out my hand and said,,, "Hi,,, my name is
wiggins an' I'm doin' the comedy act!!!" This guy looked me over, sniffed
me, and said,,, "Who gives a fuck???" Then he leaned back, roared out a
giant laugh quite loud and long and dared me to be funny…
I knew at that very moment I had just met and made friends with the human
version of a junk yard dog!!!
Junk Yard Dog, Junk Yard Dog, Everybody Fears a Junk Yard Dog…
Over the following years I discovered Pat Hall feasted often on other
peoples flesh,,, get too close an' he'd bite you simply to see if you
could take it, no matter if you bled. Pat Hall was most comfortable when
he could make you feel uncomfortable. Pat Hall protected the privacy of
his life by building fences that kept you out, but all they did was keep
Pat Hall in, chained up by his own choice.
