Hanson

Hanson?
Who are they?
"We're just three brothers who want to make
     music."
Well, That is who they are,
and this is who they aren't:

They are not gay.
They are not a boyband;
Though they are boys who are in a band.
They are not long-haired.
They are not girls.
They don't have high voices.
Have you heard of puberty?
Yeah, they have too.

They may have a song called, "MMMBop,"
from way back when,
but people change, they mature,
and so do their ideas.
Their music has evolved,
right along with their appearances,
and their voices.

Flashback to 1997:
When asked,
"What do you reckon you'll be doing five years
     from now?"
They answered,
"I hope we'll still be doing music, you know, and
     even for the rest of our live. We'll do music."
Flashforward, to the present time, 2004:
Seven years later,
They are still doing music.
What do you call that?
Success?

Now, in 2004,
One in his second year of marriage, with a child.
Another with a long-time girlfriend.
A third single and looking.
All legal, respective ages being:
23, 21, and 18.

People say they are a teeny-bopper band for girls.
The truth:
They may have some teeny-bopper fans,
but most are in their early twenties, and not teenies.
Most happen to be female,
but you do find male fans.
Male fans who are straight.
And, what an amzing fanbase they have.
A large age range,
both genders,
all sexual orientations,
and all dedicated to their cause:
Loving and supporting the music.
