I expect one day these cutesy teens will stop dedicating songs to their grandmothers and enter detox programs for the adolescently wealthy and the sadly "dropped like a hot potato." Maybe they'll assist Dana Plato holding up convenience stores. You just never know in this wacky world of life! Listen, these kids are cute and they know it--even the older one who looks vaguely disturbed about having to pal around with his younger siblings knows it. Such knowledge is unquestionable power and one day that power will curdle into a play for complete world domination! Even now with other adults running the show, Hanson are on their way to complete market saturation. They release records as often as older rock stars change bed partners. This live album, dare I say it, is--like all things Hanson--premature. We must stop this conspiracy while it's still in its infancy!
