Show Biz: Tuesday 04/07/09

*** John Oates of Hall and Oates fame turns 60 today. He, and his mustache, were featured twice on our musical segments this morning.

For the birthday tie-in, we chose the 1981 classic, "I Can't Go For That"





*** We featured a great lost tune from the 80's during the 80's Escape.

Remember "Method Of Modern Love"? Once you hear it you will. Spell along with the song...

M-e-t-h-o-d-O-f-L-o-v-e...it's the Method Of Modern Love"





*** Now, about that mustache.

The John Oates' mustache is such an epic 'stache, it is the subject of an animated series.

Since the summer of '08, J-Stache has been in production from the folks at Adult Swim. The 'stache -- voiced by Dave Attell -- is a crime fighting mustache. Uh huh.

Sounds brilliant, but will probably be a dud, if it even makes it to air.

It just goes to show, you can't stop John Oates' mustache, you can only hope to contain it.

Where does Oates' mustache rank with other musician's mustaches?
