In any partnership one person always contributes more than the other or at least thinks that. Are partnerships doomed to fail at some point? It seems normal.

The blunt truth is that John Oates got where he is in life because of Hall's talent. He’s a nice guy, but he needs to be realistic.

Daryl being the straw that stirred the operation seem to always be regretting the partnership mentally and monetary. John always the team player. Probably needed sorted out between these two long ago. John ends up being the target when Daryl gets pissy

John's so honest and genuine, So refeshing these days to see and hear humility personified

Hey buddy, Raz here. Hope all is well and glad to see this podcast. Of all people, you deserve it to be hugely successful. Hope you have a great new year. Keep up the great work.

Saw JO in concert last summer. One of the best concerts ever. Laid back & cool. 😊

Wow. So well spoken and good for him. Glad he's doing so well.

John is creating more problems in this where it doesn't need be. He's talking too much not a good look

Daryl is the over bearing type.

As to vinyl and limitations where quiet songs were put at the end : not always true . Take Genesis Wind and Wuthering or And then there were three or Trick of the tail : all clock over 50 minutes and not quiet songs at the end. And those are 70's records that sound good.

Hey. They both doing music. Great combo in their TIME. TIME moves on. I loved watching Darryl's house and listening. We all have favourite songs. For me Beanie G and the Rose Tattoo with Todd Rundgren on lead and the hawaian crew,especially the drummer +( so so tight) just blew me away. Apart from Jimi H that ROX. Cheers don't be sad. Feel privileged to live that.

This is sad. You guys were my favorite Duo

Thanks 🙏

John sounds like a responsible, introspective person, I wish him all the best.

Love Moe. one of my favorite bands

Hall made the group relevant. His vocals made it work. Oates could have been replaced by anyone honestly.

I'm from the very, very far south (South Africa) 😂. I'm a massive Tony Joe White fan. His personally autographed CD is one of my most prized possessions (and I believe I have Jody to thank for that autographed CD). I call Tony Joe "Elvis with talent".

Great Interview!

I started looking at it as an option after retiring from the IT world, but it is just not the same now. Not worth the price you pay. Maybe that's why most new music sucks. Just not attracting or recognizing the greatest musical minds anymore.

it's great to hear the other side of this, the body of work stands for itself. I understand and agree Oats.

Well Said 👏👏👏👏 hall was very Nasty “Saying HE IS NOT MY ARTISTIC PARTNER “

He screwed over Gram

I guess John won't be performing at Daryl's house any time soon.

Far out !

Excellent interview great band

I saw the Dessert band from the stage I worked at in Wheeling WV at Jamboree USA. I met Jorgensen right before the show. He came into our tech hangout room looking to make a phone call to LA to have some one pick his gear up when they flew back. That was the show where Brad Paisley was on the show as a teen because we had a variety show which featured local talent and then headliner and it was broadcast live on radio every Saturday night. I was one of the audio engineers in that theatre .John shoed Brad his rig and stuff. Brad was one of the local openers. There is a video out about that night with John and Brad now that they have befriended in the big business. Cool stuff. I love that music. I'm a musician and played mostly rock as kids do growing up and once I got into country things changed and my mind expanded. I was playing in a southern band when this show happened and I was maybe 30 years old. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm still busy though and these videos give me chance to reflect on my own life. Thank you.

Wow, I just happened upon this- fantastic interview with a stellar human being. Chris is truly one of the greats. I loved his book, and it was great to get a recap via this brilliant interview. Thank you!

Chris I read your book “Time in Between” a couple years ago. What a great read! I was a little too young to have experienced your career but finally caught on with Manassas. That dbl LP was gold for me. I grew up with horses too, where I grew up a bike was useless…

DERYL MARYD ?EGEN

much respect for John Oates...successful marriage and taking care of his kids unlike daryl Hall not supporting his biological son from what I have read.

oh, just shut up and play... both are 78, worth tens of millions of dollars,.. have what 99.99% of people only dreamt off - and still, fighting like little kids... Duh

1st time I saw CL was in Manteo. They opened for Govt Mule. After CL set I said hello to the band. Didn't stay for Govt Mule after 1 song, because I was so blown away by CL. Saw them many times after when I lived in NC. Still one of my favorite bands!

Just listening to John explain his "split" with Daryl: He handles this as graciously, philosophically and "common-sensically" as I would imagine the topic can be handled. Good on him.

Totally understand why the lawsuit is happening!! And yes being out there in public is sad!!!! Hope both figure it out soon!!!👍❤️🇨🇦

Great guy. Chris Hillman, Richie Furay, JD Souther… authentic west coast country rock pioneers.

John Oates: Out of the shadow and into the light.

🫣 Wow..."Pearl"!?? 😐 I REMEMBER THEM!! 😑 Played at "Cajun's Wharf", on Meridian!!!

Tobin is a great player

Stood right behind Jason on his first tour as Bonham amazing drummer rally by the river Toledo Ohio

Great, great share. Thanks !

Think Poco w/ Richie Furay and Rusty Young were pushing the same buttons at the same time spilling out of the Buffalo Springfield.

Or maybe release a bunch of 7” singles!!

John, as a tremendous fan and a huge record collector, PLEASE release your new album on vinyl!

Makes Sense. Cheers

Guy Clark

Oklahoma 4 ya heheheheh😂

Don't get me wrong Cody but bro 😂😂😂

Cody why u have blue nailz and ppr hair 😂😂😂😂 wtf.

What an amazing group of performers. Every single voice here is beautiful and trained. Love this❤ First guy reminds me of Josh Groban lol

They'll re-unite and tour again 2025/26... reunion seems part of the cycle these days.
