I sense people respond more to the honest approach to making music instead of the manufactured approach.
From John Oates
When my song came on the radio for the first time, that was one of the heaviest things I remember.
There isn't one album that says 'Hall & Oates.' It's always 'Daryl Hall and John Oates.' From the very beginning. People never note that. The idea of 'Hall & Oates,' this two-headed monster, this thing, is not anything we've ever wanted or liked.
When you really can't affect something, you almost don't wanna wish too hard, because it's just frustrating.
I never finish a show without singing 'She's Gone.'
I'm really in such a fortunate position to have that foundation with Hall and Oates that lets me do whatever I want. That's the dream of a lot of creative people, and I don't take it for granted. I try to make the most of it.
The decline of the major labels has changed the audience. They aren't force-fed by a system any more. They can make their own decisions.
Jam Cruise is actually a comfortable place for me. My jamming skills and my improvisational skills have improved immensely as I've gone more solo, because I've had this opportunity.
I've been asked to do various types of cruises.
I have such a wide variety of tastes in things that I like musically.
