They're everywhere$B)(Jthere're even 'Hanson cults' in some schools in America$B)(Jor so I've heard. Apparently, what they do is prevent Hanson's music to be played on radio stations, music channels, geesh, probably even in restaurants. Anyway, all I have to say is, what the heck are these people's problems? Too much fuss is being made over three boys from Tulsa Oklahoma who are doing nothing but fulfilling their own dream and working hecka hard trying to do so. Numerous radio stations refuse to play Hanson's singles$B)(Jall the way from 'MMMBop' to 'Weird.' They say that "it's nothing but noise pollution." (Apparently half the people across the world don't think as so.) Why do these people have such a grunge against Zac, Isaac, and Taylor? Their 'look'? Their hair? Their attitude? Their clothes? Or basically, their music? The thing that I really don't understand, is how magazines like 'Seventeen' can totally gush their hearts out admiring them in their August '97 issue, and once more with a full blown report in their December '97 issue. But then later blow them off in their July '98 issue. What's their problem here? Gratifying enough, numerous teenage Hanson fans across the Net have been e-mailing them demanding an explanation for their sudden 'lack of interest'. This should be interesting, let's see what they say in return =) They betta have a good excuse$B)I(Jehe$B)(J Anyway, back to my original point, it seems that the majority of these people that diss Hanson seem to be people in their late teens, and some already in their late twenties. (A few examples are Carson from MTV ova in the US and various radio DJ's) Now think about this, if you're 29, nearly reaching 30, do you think that you would waste your time dissing a teenage band with a member as young as 12, instead of taking care of Uncle Sam's taxes? Apparently, these people are deficiently immature people who never grew up. And please, I don't even want to talk about the idiot Radio DJ's that diss Hanson. Isn't it their job to turn on music? (Namely music that the listeners want to listen to) Lucky enough, my favorite local radio station here in Thailand (95.5 FMX) have a team of very generous DJ's that love Hanson and turn on their music without you even asking them, but unfortunately some DJ's in some American cities have a problem with doing that. If any of you have a local station that just refuses to turn on Hanson's music, I have one suggestion$B)(Jjust stop listening to their station$B)(Jbetter yet$B)(Jstart a local protest with a bunch of your friends$B)(JI'm sure they'll be willing to listen to you guys then. =) Just try it, it might work$B)(J Just remember, one thing's for sure: Hanson have already accomplished so much more than these dorks ever will in one lifetime... agree? =)
