It's somehow fitting that a Hall & Oates thread would become a gathering point for dad jokes.

A gossip site suggests this has something to do with Oates singing their songs at his solo shows, which seems beyond ridiculous if true.

Daryl Hall has sued his longtime music partner John Oates, arguing that his plan to sell off his share of a joint venture would violate the terms of a business agreement the Hall & Oates duo had forged.
this seems much more likely and it's not a restraining order as reported, it's an injuncture which is a totally different thing, and also seems like a legitimate thing for Hall to be not ok with

Yeah, a TRO is usually issued in a domestic violence or other situation in which one of the parties presents a physical threat to the other. That didn't seem right in this case.

Daryl Hall filed a sharply worded sworn statement Wednesday explaining why he’s suing music partner John Oates over an alleged breach of their business partnership, and sadly he does not indulge us by incorporating his song titles into his filing.

Also this is the first time I've heard Oates address the following:
(Oates) claimed Hall is the one who went rogue, alleging Hall “has consistently and publicly been adamant about being perceived as an individual rather than as part of a duo or group.” He also alleged Hall has “insisted” on the group being known as “Daryl Hall and John Oates,” rather than the more commonly known “Hall & Oates.”

I'm actually surprised there haven't been more legal quarrels like this amongst the members of legacy groups eager (or otherwise) to sell out.

xp Is it more common for one partner to simply sell out to the other partner? That seemed to be the case with the Band (everyone selling their share of the publishing to Robertson) and others (like Denny Laine selling his shares of his Wings co-writes to McCartney). Also, those particularly cases went on to prove Hall's point - never sell your publishing unless you're 80 and retiring.

As you've pointed out, Hall seems unlikely to value his partner's contribution as much as another business entity might.

One coincidental thing I noticed the other night was that Ritz crackers appear on the covers of both War Babies and Bigger Than Both of Us. It would be cool if there was a lost H&O Ritz jingle out there.

I can't say the idea of a Broadway musical appeals to me. A brief excerpt:
Garrett and D’Arienzo also caught wind of the unusual dynamic between Hall and Oates. Both saw the group live a few times during their mutual projects and came away disenchanted. “They didn’t look at each other and never even talked to each other,” Garrett recalls. “I don’t think the audience noticed or cared. But I could not understand it.” Although he says Hall and Oates both showed up for a workshop reading of he and Taylor’s attempted musical, Garrett could also sense the tension between the two. “They would speak individually and not together,” he says, “and not confer with each other.”
D’Arienzo felt the same during his few interactions with them and at the concerts he attended. “I saw their show three times, and it was great,” he says. “They played amazing. But they didn’t seem like they were having fun onstage. It definitely felt like a business relationship.”
In another telling moment, D’Arienzo says he when he submitted his script, members of their team expressed enthusiasm — including half of the duo. “I remember getting a message from John Oates that was, ‘I love this so much, but I’m not going to say anything, because if I say I love it, Daryl will hate it.’”

Saw them last year and had the same takeaway. Very chilly vibes between the principals. Hall was also screaming at his monitor engineer the entire time. That said: sick show!

This is more than just publishing, though, right? They perform as a duo still. Or were they already going to stop touring?
