So, someone told me why I shouldn't like Hanson today...I have finally seen the light!!!
Someone told me today that "Hanson are fags." Hanson are fags...hmm...not very original, not very polite or civilized, not very intelligent, and not very true. And I HATE that word, but I answered back with my usual (although equally juvenile) response: "Oh yeah? Well, you must really like them then!"
But it struck me that this is the only defense people have against them. They can't argue musically, because if they know anything about music, they know that they will lose at any attempt to legitimately discredit Hanson's musical abilities. So they attack them personally. They latch on to a time when they had long girly hair, they ridicule the pitch of their voices, they question their sexuality. It is because they don't have a legitimate argument. Because HANSON IS THE REAL FREAKING DEAL!
And I would like to say for the millionth time that I don't expect or even want everyone to like Hanson. It's about respect. The respect they deserve. They deserve to be evaluated fairly, based on their talent and nothing more.
Just for once, it would be nice for someone to either legitimately challenge them or shut the hell up...
