I know you’re probably expecting, “Hanson Haters are all jealous! They’re stupid! They’re ignorant!” etc. But I’m not going to say that. Some of my best friends are not into Hanson’s music. I don’t judge them because of it. It’s an opinion. My opinion happens to be that they are three talented young men making it in the music industry rather well.

I’ve met some Hanson Haters who don’t like Hanson but don’t mind their fans. These are the mature ones. They understand you can’t label someone by what they put in their CD player. It’s rather stupid if you think about it. “Ooh! She listens to LeAnn Rimes; she’s a hick!” “He listens to Nirvana; he’s going to commit suicide!” etc. Can we say, “Ignorant?” I happen to listen to both LeAnn Rimes and Nirvana and I’m not a hick nor am I going to commit suicide. I like the mature Hanson Haters.

But as for the other ones...I’ve received a number of e-mails “Hanson sucks! You’re a little brat! They blow big time!” I find all of them rather amusing. I’m a little brat am I? I really didn’t know that many people knew that; especially since they’ve never met me in person. What’s really amusing is that I’m a little brat because I listen to Hanson. Hmmm...the world has about 10 million little brats. Too bad, so sad.

Also something that’s rather annoying; immature Hanson Haters signing my guestbook. I’ve got something to tell you: it takes a lot less time to delete them than it does to sign the thing. So don’t, okay? You won’t get a response from me (other than this) and nobody will know you did.

But may I point out that I’ll admit full-heartedly there are some Hanson fans that are obsessed. They do call Hanson Haters a number of things I won’t. But my point is: I’M NOT OBSESSED!

Another point I’d like to make is that liking a person and liking a person’s music are two rather different things. As I stated before, some of my best friends don’t like Hanson but they didn’t dump me because I happen to like them.

Somebody named Jill decided to form an Anti-Hanson Club. According to Jill, "The over-popularity of the songs, they just get so overwhelming and annoying." I have an idea! TURN THE RADIO OFF! It's quite simple - you just press a little 'power' button. Dear God. That is sad. Who in their right mind makes a club just because they don't like a form of music? Can we say, "Get a life"?

Also, nobody's holding a gun to your head and telling you to listen. You turn the radio off. Go somewhere else. No need to make yourself look like an idiot because you don't like a song. That's stupid and immature. Some things in life you won't like. Deal with it. It's part of growing up.

Also, why do they have an anti-Hanson club of all the horrible things in the world? Why not an anti-war? Anti-child labor? Anti-child abuse? Why should you focus on petty things such as your opinions of a person's music instead of the things that matter?
