Hall Lashes Out At 'Corrupt' Music Industry....

Singer/songwriter Daryl Hall has launched a bitter tirade against the music industry - branding the business "corrupt".

The 61-year-old shot to fame in the late 1970s as one half of music duo Hall & Oates, and has since found success as a solo artist, but his long-running career has left him wary of showbusiness and music executives.

Hall insists his life was made miserable by "asshole A&R people" and "media bulls**t" and is embracing the digital age, as he believes modern technology will give artists more freedom from the music industry hierarchy.

He says, "I think it's a really interesting time to be in the world of music because I have always hated the establishment. I dealt with it my whole f**king career and I hated it - all that bulls**t that is really irrelevant to creativity.

"Kissing the arse of f**king programme directors at radio stations and trying to please asshole A&R people at record companies, none of whom know anything.

They're all corrupt jerk-offs - every one of them.

"And dealing with pompous know-nothing journalists, who have a mixture of cynicism and naivety - a lethal concoction".
