Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
We've all been there. Stuck in traffic after a long day at work, at your iPod just isn't cutting it, you're sick of AM talk radio, the birthday scams are getting stale, FM radio is just Maroon 5 and LMFAO, and you don't feel like calling your grandmother to say "I love you." You dear friend, are in a Hall & Oates emergency. One that can only be helped with "One On One","Rich Girl","Maneater", or "Private Eyes".
The website, Callin' Oates, makes this happen, with just a phone call and the press of button. Soon you will be whisked into another world, Hall and Oates' world, where men are men, women are mostly backstabbing demonic, c-words, and the only relief is a kind word from a friend, and a smile. Not a Sara smile though.
It's simple, just call the number, 1-719-26-OATES, make a selection out of one of the four songs I mentioned, and let H&O do the rest. My only complaint? See below.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
