Al Dissed/mentioned In Maxim

Post by **Seva** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 12:30 am

I don't understand why Darryl threw such a large level of negativity onto Al. Seems like something really personal from the eighties! He could have just said: they're not like Weird Al Yankovic, and that would be quite a little negative, but pretty enough! But he added that following sentence that I wouldn't repeat in relation to Al or ANYONE, and that was pretty scary. Why such negativity? I don't get it.

Its probably cause there are three types of people when it comes to Al;
1. People who worship the ground he Polkas on
2. People who've never heard of him
3. People who are sick of him.

Im guessing Daryl Hall falls into the third catagorie.

btw, I got so miffed at him I had to do something drastic....like...change my signature!!

You're too funny.

I agree with Seva though. Could've just ended it after one sentence.

My sig went something like that once... Only to keep it under the 127 limit, I took out "The people who never heard of him"

I have no idea who Daryl Hall is... but I don't like him >:S

Can anyone on this topic honestly say they do like him?

I mean, I've never heard of the guy, I have no idea about his work and I don't even know what he looks like! (well, other than he has a tragic mullet, thanks ludovica64!!)

But in one simple sentance, he's managed to show that he's petty, ignorant and frankly just plain jealous. Hence the reason that I want him to dive into a swimming pool filled with double edged razorblades. >:)

EDIT: I just realised that this post has made me into a 'Die hard fan!!'

I know, off topic, but I couldn't resist.

Maybe this was mentioned but who was on the cover of this issue of Maxim?

Him personally? I've never met him, and I'm not going to put on my cross-trainers and go running to try to meet him now. Besides, I always liked John Oates better and wished he'd done more of the singing with his deep bass voice.

Actually, I thought the Hall and Oates stuff was among the better pop music coming out in the late 1970s-early 1980s, although that's not exactly the highest of compliments, I know. I recall that they were not crazy with the advent of music videos and the pressure to put a visual face on their music; I recall Darryl Hall in an interview complaining about that sometime in the early to mid 1980s. Maybe Al NOT parodying them in their heyday put Darryl Hall's nose out of joint?

It was a completely out of the blue snotty comment, to be sure. Doesn't make me think highly of Darryl Hall.

Cheers, Diva
Still just fine with John Oates so far [as a child her favorite Beatle was George Harrison and during the Monkees days her favorite Monkee was Peter, so go figure]

Methinks Mr. Oates ok'd the use of "Method of Modern Love" in Al's polka medley, and not Mr. Hall...

*Mike thinks so, too. I just wanted to reiterate that point*

Out of the blue and snotty. Good words to describe what Darryl Hall said.

Jealous much, Darryl?

Jaime King, the model/actress. She was in Fanboys, White Chicks, and Pearl Harbor.

Oates rocked hard. And honestly, while I would possibly never buy an album, I do like some of the stuff they put out.

People tell me they were good (I was way too young back then. I just turned 24), but since I only know a few songs, I can't really judge too much.
