Hanson Bro Fires the One Finger Salute

31. Every one on here that is bashin on hanson obviouysly has no clue what they have been up to, if you would go to WWW.HANSON.NET then you would see that they are doin waaaaayyyyyyy much more than the normal celebrity! so taylor flipped him off, he deserved it! how would you like it if someone got up in your face while you were trying to support a serious cause and be all "how bout some mmmbop, give us some mmmbop, MMMBOP! They have grown up from that stage and are really nice people! way to go all of you for assuming the worst! Instead of picking on hanson, who has done nothing but great things for people...why dont you go get a life! I support hanson all the way and i dont care if you think i am crazy or pathetic or so on for doing so!

32. Why is everyone here so pro-paparazzi? Why do you all seem to think that the band should be so pleased to get attention from some lame-brained photographer that they kowtow to him? Hanson have been doing just fine for the past ten years without attention from paparazzi.

34. OK clearly the photog guy went to the Hanson show on purpose, he is a secret Hanson fanatic because seriously, who would even go if they weren't?
And btw, Zac was a bit of an idiot there, he really is a nice guy to hang out with

35. Yes, people, they have grown up. Shocking! *gasps* *rolls eyes* MMMBop was 11 years ago and I'm glad to see this story in hopes that people will realize that. Guess what, people? All three of the brothers are married and have at least one kid now (Taylor even has 4!). They have grown and matured a lot, obviously, so why are people acting so surprised?! I loved Hanson then and I love Hanson now. BTW, they are still making music and have been the whole time on their OWN record label. And honestly, how many pre-teens and teenagers can say they play their own music, they write their own music and lyrics, they produce their music, they have power over themeselves, and have their own record label? Nobody else, I'm sure. Thus, let's move on and give them the credit they've deserved since day one.

I'm just sayin'....

(Grr, that show was just four hours away from me. *sigh*)

36. The reason they were outside the venue was not to sing or perform but to raise awareness on poverty and AIDS.. So asking Zac to perform is slightly selfish out of the photog!

37. OMG, until now I always thought the long blonde hair guy in your rap sessions was the youngest Hanson!

38. So.... These three dudes roll into town, they announce their presence, and within hours, scores of young women show up. These women are all willing to walk a mile with the three guys, and not only that, they're ready to walk a mile BAREFOOT, outside in the COLD! And you expect me to agree that the three guys are washed-up, pathetic losers? Not in my book, they're not. And how many sweet young things could YOU persuade to walk a barefoot mile?

40. Come on, this is TMZ, not some legit TV show that really wanted to know what they have been doing lately.
That's why they reacted the sarcastic way they did. Your not going to get serious reaction's from Hanson when they know this show/website would just make a joke of what they say. Maybe if the camera guy would have stuck around longer he would have been able to find out the real reason the fans were there and walking with them.
Maybe alot of people don't know what Hanson has been doing the past 11 years since MMMbop came out but they have never stopped making music or touring. The Jonas Brothers can only hope they are able to continue a music career after their popularity fades as Hanson has been able to do. If anyone were really interested in what Hanson has been doing lately they can go to Hanson.net or TalktheWalk.net.

43. Before Hanson's Oct. 25th sold-out Poughkeepsie, NY concert, 260 people of all ages both male and female showed up to walk a barefoot mile in the rain. And if you know poughkeepsie, that wasn't easy. But we did it because we truly believe in and support Hanson's cause.

Hanson has done what other bands couldn't, they have stayed true to thier roots, only played the music they really believed in and have kept a huge fan base when the music industry tried to keep them down. Those who talk about "they're back" or "what have they been up to?" have no idea what they're talking about and sound ignorant when they put them down as no talent losers. Do your reasearch before you speak.

I've been to 5 Hanson shows in the last year and half and every one has been sold out. I've been on 2 walks and Hanson just met thier 1st goal to supply 250 HIV positive mothers in Africa with health care for them and thier childern. They are also almost done building a well for clean drinking and have personally gone to Africa and put shoes on the feet of countless childern with none.

I completely understand why Taylor would give this guy the bird or Zac wouldn't answer his questions because he was an ass! He apporached the guys with this "Your nothing more than 90's pop garbage" attitude and that's how he was treated. If you're going to do a report on someone, know who you're reporting on before going and asking them stupid questions. If Mmmmbop is the only Hanson song you know, that's just sad. And if you think they disappeared or left the music buisness you're wrong. They have put out 5 albums, a chirstmas album and serveral EP's. Thier 1st album after creating thier own record company remains one of the highest grossing self-released albums in music history.

Visit Hanson.net or Takethewalk.net for more Hanson info.

44. If he was trying to make the guys look bad he should of thought of something better to say than "can we get some mmmbop". LAAAME.

45. after reading all of these comments and seeing how you guys run this "business" all i can do is laugh.........it disgusts me that people like you can be so successful with the amount of intelligence and respect that you clearly lack. but for those of you reading who do not know hanson...zac's personality is very sarcastic especially when it comes to ridiculous questions and people (i.e. TMZ)

p.s. they do not need publicity, they have quite a bit of it as is and have an amazing fan base (hence the defense team on here) TMZ is just lazy and had to resort to whatever they could manage in order to get a story without having to do any research =)
