I wanted to thank you, the FANatic staff, for the show with Aaron meeting Hanson.
I have been a Hanson fan for over a year now and have followed everything they have done. I thought FANatic would be just another appearance among the many that I have already seen. I couldn't have been more wrong.
I wanted to thank you guys for choosing the fan that you did. Aaron's "fan-manship" was apparent, but his sincerity and truth was very touching for me to see. You could have chosen a "ordinary, run-of-the-mill" fan that would have said that Hanson rules and this, that, and the other...but instead you chose someone who felt so strongly about Hanson and their talent. For that, I applaud you.
It was through Aaron, and subsequently because of your show, that I realized-or rather RE-realized why I am a Hanson fan. It's not only because I enjoy their music. I enjoy a lot of different kinds of music.
However, Hanson is special. They have qualities within them that shine through. They have a seriousness and depth in their talents which they have been gracious enough to share with us. While at the same time, they have a good time playing their music.
Your show showed us both sides of Hanson. Their gratefulness to their fans was true and real...you could tell that they were absolutely awed and grateful to Aaron (and in effect, to all of their fans) and that was gratifying for me, as a fan, to see.
I thank you again for choosing Aaron and for the show. I am truly grateful that I saw that show...and that it was done the way it was.
Thanks again!
