John Oates chats about publishing, songwriting, and individuality – SXSW 2024
There was a cloud of anxiousness and curiosity forming before musician, John Oates took the stage at SXSW. I’m neither a recording artist nor a lawyer, but if you haven’t been following the Hall and Oates drama I’ll try to explain it in terms we can all understand.
Basically Daryl Hall had filed a lawsuit against John Oates halting the sale of their business stake. What had originally started as an out-of-court arbitration, escalated when Oates (according to Hall) blindsided him, leading to a court-ordered pause of the sale.
That was in November of last year. Fast forward to SXSW 2024.
