A DAY TO REMEMBER

On October 11, 1946 the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox in Game 6 4-1.  The 35,798 attendees at Sportsman's Park, Missouri slid to victory by 3 time MVP Stan "The Man" Musial.

Meanwhile, in neighboring state Illinois a national icon was born.  Jack Fuller, a Pulitzer Prize recipient, has spent nearly forty years as a journalist and Editor with the Chicago Tribune.  The Northwestern and Yale graduate has worked on articles, editorials, blogs, and seven novels.

But did he write "Maneater?"  NOOOOPE!  But Daryl Hall did! On the same day as boring Jack Fuller's birth and the 1946 meaningless game 6 win by the St Louis Cardinals, a legend was born.

Daryl Hall was born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.   With his vocal and songwriting gifts, along with his ability to punch the ivory keys, Hall's career had no limits.  But destiny struck in 1967 when Daryl Hall was introduced to John Oates.  Immediately Oates's cutoff blue shirts and dangerous mustache/perm combo helped take Hall & Oates to the top.  Hall described his relationship with band member John Oates "like a piano, you just gotta know which keys to stroke."  Two weeks later the duo released hit track "Private Eyes."

Unbeknownst to their fans, the twosome lost millions trying to expand to the adult industry.  The band launched a male contraceptive product with famous slogan "Whoa here she comes," but it was short lived.
 

Oates mustache acted as a floatation device to the bands declining career in 2011.  The duo performed in front of a sold out crowd of 1,400 at the Chumash casino in California.  The venue described the performance as the best since Bob Seger two months prior.

 While currently selling out casinos all over the Palm Desert area, Hall & Oates are also concentrating on their next album.  Some of the bands future work has been rumored to be the following:

"If I met God, I'd Ice Him"
"You're kiss is NOT on my list."
"John Hall > Tom Selleck"
"The keyboards been drinking, not me"
"I swear to GOD John, if you don't get that
mustache outta my face!"



Cheers to you Daryl Hall, keep it up!  John, don't over do it OK.
