-> I hafta spout my mouth on your opinions. ;)
    Tis what we're here for, to exchange thoughts and opinions!  :)
-> CA> I try to think of Hanson as little as possible.  In three years,
-> CA> people won't remember who they are - three prepubescent pop
-> CA> stars...
-> Let me see-New Kids on the Block?  Hmmm... who were they anyway?
    ROTFL!
-> -> I mean how many kids do you know that have the talent to do that
-> -> and be nominated for three grammies?
-> CA> There are far more talented youth than Hanson will ever be...
-> They just have a good manager.
    And not more than a little luck!
-> CA> How many Grammies was Milli Vanilli nominated for and won?
-> You mean the ones their manager should've gotten? ;)
    Yep!  As I often say, things may not be what they seem to be. :)
-> -> Also, they may have long hair, but so does Marilyn Mason.
-> Stereotypes, Chuck-the kind that they "teach" in public school.
    The thing is, the human mind needs to "stereotype"...
-> -> Which in my opinion Marilyn Manson is very embarassing to
-> -> the human race.
-> CA> Marilyn Manson, as with Hanson, is an "act".  Something he really
-> CA> isn't but which markets well.  I don't dislike Manson's music, I
-> CA> simply don't like it enough to buy it.  I'll take NIN and Stabbin
-> CA> Westward anyday.
-> Hear, hear!  NIN is great-Trent's music is close to his heart and mus
-> ears.  Haven't heard of Stabbing Westward, so no comment from me.
    Chances are if you like NIN, you'd like Stabbing Westward.
-> -> Well don't hate me because I love them, but I'm a 16 year old
-> -> that really likes her Hanson, and when people talk about
-> -> them, it's time to get serious.
-> CA> Crystal, no one is going to hate you for liking music!  :)
-> I don't know-by some of the respones I've seen on here, it seems that
-> some people do is hate someone else on their choice of music.
    Unfortunately you're right.  It's quite one thing to trash a
musician or band and quite another to flame someone for liking music...
-> CA> Music, as with politics and religion, has followers of different
-> CA> genres and styles.  You like Hanson, I don't, and neither of us
-> CA> is "right" or "wrong" as there are no objective standards for
-> CA> evaluating musical talent or taste.
->
-> CA> My own music preferences span from Death Metal to (gasp) "modern"
-> CA> Country
-> Reminds me of the line from the movie "Blues Brothers" when they go
-> and are
-> trying to play at that backwoods honkytonk... Jake walks up to the wa
-> and asks, "What kind of music do you play here?"
-> The waitress looks straight at him and says with all sincerity, "We
-> have both kinds of music: country and western!" ;)
    ROTFL!
    An excellent story aptly demonstrating the discussion!
