That picture is hilarious! Look at them trying to pretend they’re not in their 60s! HA!

Are those the guys from Fantasy Island?

Jeez guys, it’s not like Arizona tried to paint a face white or anything… oh wait. Well it’s not like one of their politicians is suggesting tent cities à la South African apartheid… oh. Hmm, yea Arizona’s a shit state.

I asked my grandmother who Hall and Oates was……she began to weep…I think she dated one of them.

Or maybe they cancelled because they couldn’t sell any tickets and needed a scapegoat.

Snip, too bad for you that 70% of American’s agree with the AZ law.

Arizona will never survive this. What’s next? A boycott by Carrot Top?

Old news, old dudes, next.

OK, that produced a *snort* laugh.

I should say , that this , coupled with TRRK’s decision to boycott his *convention*, will break Arizona !

Hall and who? Where they at some time somebody?

Come on guys, Hall and Oates made some great videos in the 80s! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zV8xeA7Z5Q

That wasn’t one of ‘em.

karl ? ……….. karl ? I’m sad karl. sad .

I was always partial to this one:

But Milli Vanilli have announced that they’re in favor of the law.

Milli Vanilli blocks or counterbalances Hall and Oates. Which means we’re back to step one.

Barry Manilow will need to break this tie.

Now, now. I think they look sweet like all elderly couples.

Just curious. Do groups usually have contractual obligations that would prevent them from breaking their agreement to appear for frivolous reasons such as this?

Their tour is sponsored by Ex-Lax, Metamucil and the ARRP.

Yes, they will have to give full refunds to the 7 people who bought tickets.

There was a sad, desolate time in the 80s, when Hall & Oates, Kool & the Gang, Huey Lewis and Michael Jackson were the best thing on the radio. It was a time when Men at Work and Men Without Hats were considered a breath of fresh air and when I’d occasionally drunk dial the local radio station requesting the 70s “classic”, “S-S-Saturday Night” by the Bay City Rollers to drive home the point, how far radio had fallen.

As for the “boycott”, I’d kind of feel for the artists who live around Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon, but like Hall & Oates, it too, sort of peaked in the 80s.

Don’t you want to add a “not that there’s anything wrong with that”?

I checked out the videos and googled them and still don’t know who they were. Now if Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Jerry lee lewis etc bailed at least I’d know who they were.

@sarainitaly: Speaking of drunkeness, I had a friend back then, who had gone to college with his high school sweetheart named Sara. They had always had sort of a tumultuous relationship, first in high school for reasons that aren’t important and then when they got to college, it took them a couple of years to figure out why both of them would cheat.

Whenever he’d get drunk and long for his “love”, we’d have to listen to “Sara Smiles” on auto-repeat for what seemed like hours on end. So much so, I hadn’t hear the thing in decades, but I still know most every word.

Now that is torture!! haha

I’m surprised at how many people here don’t know who Hall & Oates are. They were the butt of a joke played over and over on SNL, with them actually appearing in the gag at least once. Probably the best and most widely known song they did was “I Can’t Go For That” and that song has a classic baseline often copied. the video sucks, but here it is on Youtube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccenFp_3kq8

Daryl Hall did the vocal for a Peter Fripp song titled North Star. A beautiful song on an Eno-esk (typical Fripp) album called Exposure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcaGEhG5uhA

Here’s another video, this one starring our own The Real Royal King aka Bovine.

I think most people are kidding.

Does anybody really care if a pair of mind numbed ’60′s throwbacks that haven’t had a hit record since well before the earth cooled, refuse to take their arthritic act to Arizona?

Not really.

Besides, it’s probably all for the good, anyway.

You never know, one or both of them could have died from geriatric heat stroke, or even broke a hip or two while squeezing into their man girdles so their whatever handles don’t protrude so much out on the stage.

What would have happened then? Who knows?! More lawsuits??

It’s better for ancient dinosaurs to just stay safely inside the museums, where they certainly always belong. That way, when and if we decide we do want to see them, we can just pay our fifty cents and get out of the weather for a while…

It’s simply astounding how many trolls visit this site!

Well, the usual tea-baggers can’t see the forest for the trees. Shocked I tell you. Do you clowns really think this is about a band? Let’s hope so.

Genius- After seeing your post , I totally agree.

Ted… the point is that a band, well passed their prime, is trying to make a little news and get a little publicity by boycotting AZ. It’s transparent and pathetic… look at the picture, and tell me they’re not trying to recapture their youth. HA!

I don’t care what Hall and Oates thinks about the AZ law, any more than I care about what Britney Spears, Bruce Springsteen, or Elvis have to say about it.

But if you disagree… tell me, why should I care about Hall and Oates?

Yo Ted, strain a synapse or two to think about this for a moment. It’s by far better to be a “tea-bagger” everyday, than to be a “dirt-bagger” from your side of the aisle. for even one day.

Btw, in the event that any amount of actual thought causes you considerable inter-cranial discomfort, I suggest you take the recommended dose of your favorite NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), rather quickly, well before any serious damage can occur.

Why do I say that?

Well, with your obviously limited cognitive function, the loss of even a single neuron could be the difference between maintaining the ability to feed yourself, and requiring others to do that for you.

And since I haven’t lost all hope for you (yet), I only want what’s best for you!

I’m sure Gov. Brewer is going to immediately overturn the new immigration law when she learns that a washed up band from the 70′s is refusing to play in the state. Illegals bankrupting the state is a serious issue, but losing Hall and Oates is nothing short of catastrophic.

When little children act up, they usually whine and throw a noisy tantrum, they want to be noticed.

Hall & Oates figured out that they can get more attention by canceling a concert than by performing one!

And if that isn’t acting like spoiled rotten little children, they are too stupid to realize that the only real accomplishment of their “acting out” is to bring more people’s attention to the law and fewer people’s attention to their music.

A couple of has beens who are trying to get a little face time. They haven’t had anything resembling a hit in more than 20 years, so they’re trying to get some attention any way they can. I wouldn’t walk across the street to go to their “concert” if it was free.

Hey Done and Doner…don’t let the puerta hit you on the culo on the way out of Arizona.

So what…

I thought these guys faded into black after Oates shaved his moustache.
