I will publish my Top 10 list of Hall & Oates songs at some point, but not this issue. I have been meaning to share with you a video that I found to be hilarious and thinking about Hall & Oates reminded me about it. It is a video called J-Stache which parodies the fact that Oates shaved his trademark mustache. You can watch it right here...

The 70s and 80s were good to the mustachioed John Oates, but the rock n roll lifestyle began to take a toll and he knew that change was necessary. After that fateful night in 1990 when John Oates and J-Stache split ways, J-Stache wouldn't go quietly. He refused to slow down his hard-partying lifestyle and was determined to remain a part of Oates' life. Now, they're back together fighting crime and running Oates' Colorado celebrity health spa, Phunk Shui, on the side.

John Oates stars as himself (glad to see he has a good sense of humor about it), with comedian Dave Attell as the voice of J-Stache, his boozing, womanizing, and slightly drug-addled moustache. Whether battling mustachioed evildoers like Geraldo Rivera or diving down another bottle of tequila, J-Stache is a man... err... moustache... of action. J-Stache has a blog at JStache.com which can be pretty amusing as well.

Hope you found this concept and video as funny as I did. Like I said, I will definitely publish my Top 10 list of Hall & Oates songs at some point, so keep an eye out for that issue. For now, let's just reminisce about the mustache behind such classics as "Maneater," "Out of Touch" and "You Make My Dreams" among so many others.
