Hall and Oates!

Winfreys love Hall and Oates. It's one of the few things we can all agree on. But I realized that I don't really know much about Mr. Hall and Mr. Oates; I just knew their beautiful harmonies. Until I found this article, which is itself about another article, one from a 1985 issue of Rolling Stone where Daryl Hall makes some weird, incriminating statements about the band and his sexuality. Oates, for his part, shrugs it off (actual quote: "Oates shrugs it off.").
The weirdest statement comes from Hall after the interviewer asks if he and Oates ever hooked up (an aside: why would you ask that question? Aren't we all better off assuming that they did not?): "The idea of sex with a man doesn't turn me off, but I don't express it. I satisfied my curiosity about that years ago. I had lots of sex between the ages of three or four and the time I was fourteen or fifteen. Strange experiences with older boys. But men don't particularly turn me on. And, no, John and I have never been lovers. He's not my type. Too short and dark."
Strange experiences with older boys? Tell us more, Hall! Alas, the interview quickly turns to different subjects, most of them just as controversial (Hall says he's the best singer he knows, he compares the duo to the Beatles), some not so controversial (did you know they did a tour sponsored by a chewing gum?). Through it all, Hall eats pasta. Oates shrugs. It's compelling stuff.
