local news
Grand Rapids Press (June 28, 1998) I believe the writer of this page secretly wishes he wrote for Tiger Beat. (The word "babelicious" should be restricted for use by that magazine alone, if at all.) I edited his spelling of "MMMbop" (without the capital "B"). You may find some other inaccuracies that would make any true Hanson fan blush. ;-D
Detroit Free Press (June 28, 1998) This journalist displays respect for Hanson in this revealing interview with the band before their Pine Knob show. He asks them (gasp) serious questions about their music.
Detroit Free Press (June 30, 1998) Here's a link to the Hanson Hotel's posting of the follow-up article on the Pine Knob concert. It's by the same interviewer from the first article listed above and you can tell he's definitely a Hanson fan.
Detroit Free Press (December 1999) The Hanson Hotel has a scan of the article where Brian McCollum mentions the band in the top 13 songs and albums that defined a decade.
Disney Adventures (Winter 2002) This article was not exclusive to a Michigan audience, but I did find it on the shelf of a local library. Hope it makes you smile.
Detroit Free Press (July 2004) This article gives Hanson their due. Again, a town that brought us Kid Rock and Eminem, not to mention Madonna and Motown, this kind of credibility makes me smile.
Kalamazoo Gazette (August 2004) Kalamazoo is the closest Hanson has come to playing near where I live. Rock on.
