Warning: This post is a rumination on Hanson. Yes, the band.
I don’t watch much daytime television — who has the time? — but I do like a little Judge Mathis. Today, I had 30 minutes between tasks, and I went searching for my judge friend.
I found “Hanson: Best of 5 of 5” on Palladia. (What the heck is Palladia?) I’m not ashamed to say that I like me some Hanson. I have been known to sing “MMMBop” in class, much to the (equal parts) joy and chagrin of students. It’s on my favorite iTunes playlist. However, I am not familiar with their oeuvre.
This is how I pictured them prior to stumbling upon the show:
I remember when Taylor was the “cute one,” Zac was the “young one” and Isaac was, bless his heart, not the “cute one.”
Years have passed. Things have changed. They’re all grown up, and are all kind of cute now (although I do wonder about Taylor’s penchant for suspenders, as evidenced by the Palladia show).
I watched the whole show, and enjoyed every moment. They are talented; their songs are solid. And even the melancholy Taylor was grinning like a fool during “MMMBop.” How could he not?
Don’t judge me.
Observe and report 
Okay, I’m sorry, but one crucial word of stylistic advice here: When the day comes that you decide to publish a tribute to Hanson, both young and matured, you really gotta post the “Don’t judge me” disclaimer at the beginning! By the time the reader has reached the end of said blog posting, all the judging is well underway and really quite irreversible. I’m just sayin’.

Well, that’s true. I did post a warning at the beginning, though.
