Hall is suing Oates

[samhexum]

...and just got a restraining order against him

[samhexum]

sources privy to the conflict have told TMZ that the legal battle pertains to “the ground rules of who can sing what as a solo artist, along with money issues of course.”

The insiders disclosed that Hall, 77, made a swift legal move on Nov. 16, petitioning the court for a restraining order against Oates, 75, which was promptly granted the following day by the presiding judge. 

Oates performed a series of solo shows earlier this month, purportedly singing a number of his and Hall’s joint hits.

Concerts on Nov. 9 and 10 were postponed, per TMZ, but it remains unclear whether Hall had anything to do with that decision, given his suit was not filed until the following week.

I'm diggin' the footwear...

No way of knowing if/when things might go against the "grain."

Say It Isn't So. Hall will make it crystal clear with everyone he wrote that, too. They did a show near me, which I didn't attend, but the consensus was that it was dreadful. They "mixed it up" with the style of ALL of their hits, which is a grave dis-service to fans who want to hear things played normally.

I stopped attending live shows due to horrible misfortune time and again. Only playing a new album in it's entirety (Black Crowes), not playing the 1 song I was there to hear (Pixies), or the worst - doing only a gospel set of tunes because it was Easter (B.J. Thomas) - dammit!

They were fine when I saw them-- once by myself when I was visiting my dad in Florida and needed to get away for a night, once in college in Syracuse with 2 friends that came up for the weekend, and once at Madison Square Garden.

I just LOVED his voice.

To which Oates responded instantly, “Eat me.”

Where money is involved it’s rarely gluten free.

@WilliamM saw Beethoven in concert and was pissed that he only performed covers of Mozart's greatest hits.  He yelled out his displeasure.  Alas, his protest fell on deaf ears.

Beethoven the dog? The canine's got some serious talent if he could tickle the ivories, hearing deficiency or not. Personally I prefer watching skateboarding guinea pigs.

I saw Warren Beatty's big sister at the Palace Theater.

I saw Harry Chapin's brother open for Rick Springfield at the Syracuse War Memorial.

I saw Waylon & Madame at Westbury Music Fair, opening for Paul Lynde.  I think it was the "Rabidly Macho Men Across America" tour.

Try not to be too jealous.

I met the mothers of Gene Simmons & Bobby McFerrin. Different years, different places, different women.

I had a friend see Smash Mouth get booed off the stage. Marilyn Manson was in the crowd. It was on a Thursday night. He mentioned he's a "Seinfeld" hater. 

It was no Rosanne Barr singing the National Anthem, but the only time I saw a crowd boo someone to stop was ironically at a Padres game. He was a parody singer, serenading Randy Jones when he was being inducted into the team's Hall of Fame. I REALLY dislike San Diego fans, as I thought he was clever. I've been FORCED to see a Beach Boys concert against my will after a game. They were promoting "Cruisin'", which peaked at 99 on the charts. 

Circling back to Hall, I like his personal taste in music. He, like me, thinks "Tenderoni" by Chromeo is one of the best dance songs of the 21st century.

Oh, yeah...  I always forget Kevin Love's uncle was in a band.  Didn't the guy Tony Danza help to cuckold occasionally jam with them onstage?

Yes, I know.  They were at Adam's final appearance, and you have his upcoming album on pre-order.

You're a Cardinals fan.  We know.

Was it not enough for him to just sow his oates?
