Excerpts
Could money be involved? Surely not. After all, this IS Hanson that I'm talking about. Three fresh-faced young boys full of pure talent, who love each other and are clearly 'all about the music'. Perhaps the fiscal aspect was the executives' doing. Or maybe Hanson are extremely intelligent, enterprising boys.
Even so, I don't like to think of Hanson as such entrepreneurial sharks. Not Hanson, the boys who influenced my impressionable childish mind so much in 1997, the brothers who claim to be 'basically best friends', the ones who sing about aliens. To think this way, that the hanson.net concept is just a money-making sideline project, cheapens the image of my favourite band. So I shouldn't think like that anymore.
