Mustache Chronicles

Some things are just hard to envision.

O.K. John Oates, of the duo Hall and Oates, you remember him, right?

Yeah, yeah, the one with the mustache.

Lately, I’ve been seeing Hall and Oates popping up here and there, doing different things. They have turned into one of those pop acts hat had amazing success then, fell out of favor then, regained the respect. People are looking back and saying, hey those guys did quality stuff really.

I think they’ve done some new material but, people are interested in the hits. You see them on a T.V. show doing “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” or “Out of Touch” and the place goes nuts. Good for them.

But now, John Oates is looking at another opportunity. From Billboard.

John Oates wants people to know that he is nothing like what he was when he had a mustache. The Hall & Oates principal is firm about the distinction, because if things go as planned, his mustachioed image could appear on TV in cartoon form kicking ass, rocking out and wearing tight pink pants.

The show is going to be called “J-Stache”; no, really. I’m not kidding.

“In a cartoon setting, the mustache has its own personality,” Oates says from Aspen, Colo., where he’s finishing his latest solo album. “Just as I’m represented as the John Oates of today, the mustache is the John Oates of yesterday. The focus of the music will be on the back catalog, but it’s an open-ended situation. There’s even talk of the mustache trying to bring new bands into the picture.”

Hunh?

And, if all of that doesn’t quite peg the bizarro meter, the mustache’s of other celebrities like, David Crosby and Tom Selleck, will be making cameo appearances.

No, really. I’m not kidding.
