Oates is the one with the famous mustache.

With a string of No. 1 hits like “Rich Girl, “Maneater” and “She’s Gone” in the 1970s and ’80s, followed by a more recent cultural resurgence, Daryl Hall and John Oates have long been one of pop music’s most celebrated duos.

But over the decades, there have been hints that things were not entirely copacetic between the two men whose names are almost always uttered in sequence. In the ’80s the group went on hiatus, and both members have at times pursued solo work. In 2020, they announced plans for a 19th studio album, but it never came to fruition; this year, the musicians performed separate tours.

Now, the discord is undeniable as Hall, 77, has filed a lawsuit in Nashville against Oates, 75, the partner with whom he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. Because a judge allowed the complaint to be filed earlier this month under seal, details on the disagreement are scant, but court records classify it as a contract lawsuit.

I looked this up and listened to enough of it and it's terrible. I guess that it, among many many other 80s songs, are best paired with cocaine, but most people didn't have cocaine money. People just listened to crap after crap on the radio and were like "I guess this is my fault for not being zooted enough to vibe with it?"

I never liked that one but Out of Touch is a bop and a half
