What 2010 Will Be Like: The Rise of John Oates

In 2006, it was Seal Paul’s time to shine.

In 2007, it was all Rihanna.

The year 2008 was Lil Wayne, and the past 365 days belonged to the disconcerting combo of Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.

So who will own music in 2010? In a word: Oates. Yes, Oates. John Oates.

Hall & Oates celebrate partnership with new box set

Nearly 25 years after their era of prime chart dominance, Daryl Hall and John Oates are still making waves in pop culture. “You Make My Dreams” played a prominent role in the recent indie film hit “500 Days of Summer”; they are playing recurring roles on the “Family Guy” spinoff “The Cleveland Show”; they have filmed a cameo appearance for a major Disney film to be released in 2010; and each musician is promoting new work, while making a solo CD.

Musician John Oates
July 2009


John Oates is many things: a solid citizen, a member of one of the most prolific duos in music history, a father, a square dancer, a Philadelphia-area native, and more.

But more importantly, John Oates is a Mustached American – or at least for much of his life up until 1990, he embraced the Mustached American lifestyle, before deserting it in a fit of shame.
