Everything that could or, really, should be said about Hall & Oates has been exhausted. By now we know that, yes, John Oates has one of the more ridiculous mustaches in the history of personal grooming. And yes, Daryl Hall might be more comfortable as the third doctor on some ill-fated '80s soap opera. This is a band that has wormed its way into our lives, and it is up to us to deal with it. They are a classic example of the band dynamic of the Face and the Talent; they are the very embodiment of '80s cheese. But, like it or not, you know that you are incapable of resisting that glorious "Rich Girl" rhythm or the totally sweet pop of "Maneater." Hall & Oates win because you lose.

John shaved his not so "ridiculous" mustache about 15 years ago. Make that leap into the 90's already. Also, you must have some damned good "cheese" to get 8 number one songs, a spot in the Songwriters Hall of Fame and a Grammy nomination for a 33 year old song.

Tom,
Get with it, man. It's the '90s.
Are you seeing them tomorrow at the fair? Let me know how they were.
