Nickel Creek Confessions of a true Hanson fan JENNI DILLARD THE GAMECOCK SECOND-YEAR PRINT JOURNALISM STUDENT When people discover I’m a Hanson fan their response is usu ally either “They’re still around?” or “Eeewww, you like Hanson?” My reply to the first question is “Oh yes very much so” and to the second, “What’s wrong with that?” Both questions are usually followed by a lame rendition of “MMMBop” provoking me to roll my eyes and shake my head at their lack of ed ucation in Hanson fandom. But it isn’t their fault they haven’t kept up with the goings on of Hanson like I have for the past seven years. After forgiving them, I proceed to help them un derstand what my love for Hanson is all about and hope they will re spect me for it in the end. Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad and grandpa are musicians, and I have always been surround ed by different genres of music, The first time I saw Hanson I felt an immediate connection. In a world of music that all seemed the same they were different. I identified with them in a way that I never have with any other band. They wrote and played their own music. The lyrics in their songs were amazing, something I’d nev er heard from people my age. Music is a very personal but uni versal thing—each person should be able to understand what others feel when they are transfixed by a certain song, musician or band. If everyone could comprehend what it’s like to feel that way about someone’s music and re member that feeling when some one else likes a band, I think we would better understand one an other. Just because it’s not the same song, band, or musician, it’s still the same feeling. I’ve been judged by what I listen to far too often and it’s taught me to not be too quick to label people because of what they like. We’re all more complicated than we seem. I’m sick of defending myself for 1 tt.._ ui-1-1—J.1. fixed mentality that has caused most of the population to discred it their true talent. It’s been a long, slow battle for Hanson to prove it is more than “MMMBop” and that the music really is what matters most. Bearing their hearts to the world through their tunes has earned them a lot of criticism, but they have persevered, and that dedication one of the things that makes them admirable. If people would just give them a chance, they’d see that the Hanson brothers have come a long way from their bubblegum begin nings. They are real musicians who have real talent. And if you pay attention to their peers in the music business, you’ll realize the respect they hold for them as true musicians. I think Taylor put it best when he said, “No matter what you do, people want to figure out where to put you. You have to continue to educate people.” The road to credibility has been a long one for the band, but hope fully people will finally begin to re spect them for their tunes — and _J x J —1--ii- - f The Quigmans by buddy hickerson ^UAUO OVER VALUABLES...
