Clark Says Goodbye To Hall In Song

So Eddie Ray Hall – Spokane’s notorious methperado – is off to federal prison for 16 years. Today we mark this judicial development with the last installment in my trilogy of Eddie Ray tunes. I give you “Goodbye Eddie Ray Hall,” a makeover of Elton John’s 1973 smash, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”  Nobody can say Eddie Ray didn’t earn the attention. He’s played the system for a fool since the mid-1970s, racking up at least 16 felony convictions, scores of dope and burglary-related arrests, and at least eight trips to prison, not to mention the bail jumping and escape. But the big hammer came down Thursday in a Spokane courtroom/Doug Clark, SR. More here.
