Say what you will about Hall and Oates but we all know how much of a guilty pleasure this outstanding pop duo of the 70s and 80s is. For those of us to just openly enjoy the smooth soul stylings of Daryl Hall and John Oates, well they’re just rad. Now, we have another reason to commend the band as we’ve just heard they’ve pulled out of a post-game concert for baseball team, Arizona Diamondbacks.
Why? You guessed it. That pesky – no, not pesky - that ridiculous new immigration law Arizona has put into full effect.

However, talk-show host Rachael Ray is letting everyone know what she thinks! Apparently, the foodie is a huge Hall and Oates fan and also livid about the duo being snubbed in regards to the class of 2010.

Rather than do the typical promotional rodeo, Daryl Hall and John Oates appeared on “The Daily Show” of all places, delivering a soulful tribute to liberal pundit/sock puppet Alan Colmes. Playfully dubbing the words to their hit “She’s Gone” for “He’s Gone” and gamely delivering it in person was a smooth bit of self-deprecation, right up there with Billy Idol crooning about the tax code on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.”
