We got them on the cover, now read the article!  It also has the videos of the Today Show interview and their performance on the Late Show!

Really cool article. I'm glad they got it....just in time for Hanson Day and the new album!

Hanson rocks.  So do Hanson fans.

I'm looking for a Louisiana Street Team Leader.

andylovesyeshua was in the newsletter -- where are you from? I want to get involved!

So the pessimist in me is really sad that they aren't coming to any state around Louisiana.  The optimist in me is sure that they will post more dates.  And the realist in me knows that I will do what I have to do to see them!

I'm sure they would love to go to every state every year.......They came to New Orleans just a few months ago, so I should be satisfied.

I just wanted to point out how awesome the "about" section is on this website!  I would really like to know who wrote it because he/she is a great writer!

A few of my favorite quotes.....

"They deliver a powerful group of soulful, melodic tunes that will leave you with a contagious sense of optimism for the future and welcomed reminiscence for American rock ‘n’ roll."

"Amidst a crumbling industry, they built their own infrastructure around a DIY attitude and their commitment to their music and their fans."

"Their insatiable desire to innovate with technology - seen in their plans to incorporate mobile live streaming video both onstage and off - is building an even stronger fan connection. They’re committed to their live concert experience, with special events like their sold out five-night stand in NYC featuring each of their albums performed in their entirety, culminating with the debut of Shout It Out live. HANSON has established a reputation as successful independent artists who are comfortable at charting their own path, standing at the crossroads of the analog and digital worlds, and offering fans the best of both."

I hope you've all read it!

 

Never had a M&G!

I was just thinking of the song Cried.  I think it was on the I Will Come To You single that I can't find since I moved!!!!!! :(

Does anyone know where I could find that song?  It's not on itunes!  Will I have to check amazon.com to try to find the original cd?

Thanks!

PS - can't wait to find out the tour dates tomorrow!  I hope they come to Louisiana! :)

I'm a high school history teacher and I assigned a project to help us cover modern history.

They have to rewrite the lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" using the years of their life which is about 1992-2010.  So, if you're familiar with the song you know he wrote about important events or people that happened during his life from 1949 (year of his birth) to 1988 (when the song was written).

My students have been showing me some of their lyrics as they're writing them, and one definitely put Hanson for 1997!  I was super excited, and I told her that she did a great job of picking out one of the most significant musical events in my history - I'm sure I'll find a reason to give her bonus points!  Just kidding, but not really.

I'm glad I was able to incorporate music into my history class, and I'm even more excited that Hanson was included, too!

Fire on the Mountain

Madeline

Lost Without Each Other

When You're Gone

Dying to be Alive

Sure About It

The Walk

Penny and Me

Wow....that was really difficult!  I got to 10 and still had Every Word I say, Watch Over Me, Great Divide and Look at You ready to type!

I think the list needs to be updated!

What songs would you put in the Top 10?
