Hanson Interviews

A few days ago, I was privleged to sit with the one and only Hanson brothers. I had a lot of inqueries about the upcoming album, upcoming tour, Taylor's marriage and Taylor's adorable son. The brothers were very open to questions and were very interesting and insightful to talk to. I hope you enjoy the interview.

Me: Hey, Guys. Thanks for coming! How's it going?
Isaac: Absolutely wonderful, thank you.
Zac: Um, good.
Taylor: Can we talk about the music now?
M: Absolutely, how do you feel the new music differs from This Time Around?
Z: It rocks.
M: This Time Around rocked, too. Can you be more specific?
Z: Look, dude, you can't descibe good music, ya just gotta feel it *pounds on chest* right here, man.
M: I'm female.
T: Me, too!
Z & I: Tay, shut up, you're a dude!
T: I'm a dude.
*Long uncomfortable pause.*
T: Can we talk about the music now?
M: Uh, Are you still calling it Underneath?
I: Yeah, it's named after one of the songs on the album.
T: The song is called Underneath.
M: Thanks, Taylor. When do y'all think it will be released?
I: Well, we have some finalizations to make, so maybe...*Ike starts counting his fingers*
M: Another three years?
I: More or less.*Grins triumphantly*
M: What about the tour?
Z: Oh my God, it's gonna rock. Like, I've got this sweet guitar solo and-
M: Wait, I thought you played drums?
Z: We all get to play the guitar on some songs, isn't that totally rad?
M: Zac, you do realize, dear, that you're from Oklahoma, not California?
Z: Dude, I can surf, so I can talk any freakin' way that I want to, brah.
M: I know some surfers who would disagree with that.
T: Can we please talk abou the music now?
M: Geez, chill out. I'm trying to talk about the music.... what's your favorite song from the album?
T: What album?
I: Underneath, you dim wit.
T: Oh, that is so not cool! I'm tellin' mom! MOM!!! *Taylor leaves*
I: *Shouting* PANSY!
Z: Dude, take a chill pill.
M: Zac, if you say 'dude' one more time...
Z: Dude, what's wrong with the word 'dude'?
M &I: ZAC!!!!!
Diana: Boys, love each other. And Ike, don't say that awful 'P' word!
I: What awful 'P' word? I didn't say piss!
D: ISAAC! Watch your mouth!
I: Okay, geez whatever. You'd think I wasn't 22 years old, or anything.
D: I don't care how old you are. As long as you live in my house, you follow my rules! And utilizing positive, clean, Christian language is a rule.
T: Haha! Ike got in trouble, Ike got in trouble! Who's the pansy now?
D: Taylor Hanson! I do declare!
T: Hey, I can say whatever I want to. I don't live in your house.
D: That's right, you live in my shed. The rules count there too!
Zac: Dude.
D & I & T & M: ZAC!
Zac: Geez, sorry! Nobody have a cow!
T: Can we talk about the music now.
M: No, Taylor, we can't talk about the freakin' music any freakin' more! ARGH!!!! Let's talk about... about your marriage! How's married life treating you?
T: It kind of sucks, all my European girlfriends are kind of upset about my marriage.
I: Taylor, can't you ever use your brain?
M: European girlfriends?
Z: Dude, we're not at liberty to talk about that with out an attorny present.
M: Seriously.
Z: This Brah has never been more totally serious about anything in his life.
M: Oh, Alrighty then.
I: Oh my God! I do the best Ace Ventura Impression!!
M: That's nice.
I: ALRIGHTY... THEN!
M: You sounded like Jim Carrey there.
I: That's okay, though, because Jim Carrey plays Ace Ventura...
M: Ahhhh....
***LONG PAUSE***
M: So, Taylor, how's Ezra?
T: Who's Ezra?
M: You're son?
T: OH!!! Pookie-ookie Bear? It's soooooo cute. He's got ten toes and a bald head. And he like the gap and rides in cars. He sat up yesterday, but then he fell over... yeah he fell over...
M: Oh, no! Is he okay?
T: Of course, Pookie-ookie Bear only fell back onto some pillows.
M: How cute.
T: Yeah, he takes after me... being cute and all.
Z: Dude, gag me with a freaking spoon.
I: You can say that again.
Z: Dude, gag me with a freaking spoon.
I: Lord, help us all.
M: Yeah, um I agree with that. So, um, yeah... It's funny I had so many questions before the interview started, but I honestly don't think I can stay here any longer and still leave this place sane.
Z: Dude... is it over already?
M: Yeah, thanks for taking the time to let me interview. It's been extremely... insightful.
I: No, problem. *shakes hand with me.*
Z: Catch ya later, brah!
T: Can we talk about the music now?

After I left the interview, I decided to burn all my Hanson CD's and Hanson Memorbilia. I mean, I USED to think they were normal. Poor kids, poor, poor kids.
