Happy birthday to Taylor Hanson........wait, what????

Look, before you pass judgement on why I would want to wish a happy birthday to the lead singer of Hanson, just give me a minute. First, you have to get over the fact that they recorded MMMbop. Even though that shit is crazy catchy and was a huge hit........ I know that I'm probably the last person that you'd think would come to the defense of Hanson, but you need to realize that Taylor Hanson (and his brothers) are incredibly talented guys. They play their own instruments, write their own music, have legions of fans, have released 9 studio albums, started their own record label.......hell, they even created their own beer. I've got three examples for you. Give them a chance. First, imagine being 17 years old and 3 years removed from being a multi-platinum one-hit wonder, and you turn out this. Second, legitimately one of my favorite songs of all time comes from their 6th (SIXTH! 1,2,3,4,5,freaking 6!) album. It is called Penny & Me. One more example of Taylor Hanson's talent. The band Tinted Windows. James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins and A Perfect Circle, Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick, Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne, and Taylor motherfucking Hanson. So, yes, I stand by my opinion that Taylor Hanson is talented. Happy birthday.
