Wednesday, Sept. 22: Hall & Oates

Puyallup Fair Grandstand

By Rev. Adam McKinney on September 16, 2010

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.
