What a strange time for lovers of 80s pop-rock duo Hall & Oats. News today is that Darryl Hall is suing longtime co-songwriter John Oates, and is also seeking a temporary restraining order.
The suit was officially filed November 16th in Nashville, TN.
Hall actually went so far as to bash Oates during a stop at Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast. “You think John Oates is my partner? … He’s my business partner. He’s not my creative partner. John and I are brothers, but we are not creative brothers,” Hall said. “We are business partners. We made records called Hall & Oates together, but we’ve always been very separate, and that’s a really important thing for me.”
