BOP

Ok, this article is from BOP.

When you encounter the kind of fast and furious megasuccess that Hanson brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac have, thanks to albums like 1997's "Middle Of Nowhere", and 1998's "3 Car Garage", which spawned finger-snappin' singles like "MMMBop" and "Weird", it would be easy to get a big head. Of course, for all of the attention and mass chaos that surrounds them and their high-profile careers, they haven't lost their alility to laugh at themselves. "We're actually very into the idea of making fun of ourselves," 18 year old Isaac said. And why not? The wacky, embarrassing things that happen to the rest of us from time to time happen to these pop stars, too.

On-Stage Slip-Ups
It's hard to picture any of the babely Hanson boys walking around with toilet paper stuck to the bottoms of their shoes or forgetting to zip up their pants, but according to 15 year old keyboardist Taylor, they have had their share of dorky moments just like the rest of us. After all, they're human. Unfortunately, unlike most people. their embarrassing incidents occurred in front of huge audiences. "Sometimes you go on stage and you go, 'God, what was that chord?'" Taylor recalls of a time when he blanked at a crucial moment. Oops, kinda hard to play that off when hundreds of fans are waiting with bated breath to hear a song!

Then there are times when mishaps occur through no fault of their own. Zac says that sometimes Murphy's Law takes affect and little things really trip them up. "Like the guitar's not turned on, things like that," the 13 year old drummer explains, remembering an incident that happened to his big bro Ike. "Or you go out on stage and the mike doesn't work," Taylor chimes in.

Im retrospect, these incidents may seem funny, but at the time it's happening, it's not so amusing. That's why it's nice to know that the Hanson brothers are not super-sensitive when things don't go their way and can easily laugh off life's embarrassing moments. Just one more reason to love this MMMBoppin' trio!
