Tonight I heard that Zac Hanson (yup, MMMBob) and his wife are expecting their first child. Zac is the youngest of the three Hanson brothers. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Well, okay...he is 22, his wife is 23- it's not completely ridiculous. It's just that Hanson was a Big Deal when I was 15 years old and a freshman in high school in Hong Kong with my cousins. I don't exactly know if they were as huge in the states as in Asia, but my friends and I listened to them ALL the time, knew personal info about each one of the three brothers, went to their concerts, etc. IN FACT, this group was such an inspiration that my younger sister and my four cousins discussed starting our own family band. Our name was going to be the Funky Monkeys. We even held one rehearsal as we sat around our bunk beds.
I haven't listened to Hanson in a while, but I can still recite pretty much all of the lyrics to any one of the group's songs.
All this to say that I will need a little time to adjust to the idea of Zac Hanson, who I can't help but remembering as a 13 year old and singing with a soprano-like voice, having a baby.
