Thania Garcia John Oates, one-half of the successful rock duo Daryl Hall & John Oates, has opened up about his partnership with his ex-bandmate amid their ongoing legal debates. Oates and Hall have been in the news recently over Oates’ attempt to sell his share of their joint venture.
Notice of the legal case arrived in increments, first with the news of Hall placing a restraining order against Oates until it was revealed that Hall was attempting to block his longtime musical partner from selling his share of the duo’s Whole Oats Enterprises to Primary Wave Music.

“You can’t ignore the fact that the Hall & Oates catalog of hits and the 50-year career will always trump almost anything that Daryl does on his own or I do on my own, which is okay because I’m very proud of that music,” Oates said. “I’m really proud of what Daryl and I created together.” But, Oates continued, “I don’t like to live in the past… I make the analogy of what it’s like when you go to a great museum and you’re really excited to go and see all the beautiful paintings or the exhibits or whatever it might be, and then near the end, your feet start to hurt and you say, ‘You know what? I can’t wait to get out of here.’ That’s kind of how I feel about it.” He added, “It’s just a matter of living in my present.” Reflecting on the height of their stardom, Oates said being constantly on the road left “no time for reflection.
