The other Hanson Bros.It has been 14 years since "MMMBop." You can admit you loved that prime piece of pop perfection and the boys who sang it. It's high time for a revisionist look at Hanson, no? They's all growed-up now; the fraternal Tulsa trio of Isaac, Taylor and Zac are all married men with eight kids between them.
