Well, if you have any experience with Hanson web pages at all, then this is all old information, but here it is again... Bernie-style...
Early in the morning of November 17th, 1980, a baby's cry could be heard
down the hall of the Tulsa General Hospital. "Diana, congratulations!" said the nurse,
"It's... it's a boy!" But little
did they know, that 8 lb, 3 oz. bundle of joy called Clarke Isaac Hanson
was the begining
of one of the most amazing teen idol phenomenons ever to hit the planet.
Okay. I'll admit it. That whole intro was nothing but a load of crap. Excluding the
date and names, I made that entire thing up. I have no idea what time of day it was,
what the midwife said, or how much Isaac weighed when he was born. To be perfectly
honest, I don't really care. Personally, I think that if someone wants
to go that in-depth in their Frantic Search for Every Single Detail of Isaac Hanson's
Life, they have wayyyyyy too much free time. Either that or a serious mental condition.
...Hmm, I can see you glaring at me and telling me to cut the crap. Okay, okay...
I'll stop.
To get back to the original topic...
Obviously, at eighteen-going-on-nineteen, Isaac isn't quite the little boy
he used to be. Actually, I never really saw him as a little boy; that was
when they were still working on recording Boomerang and sporting those
horrible little crew cuts (ew! ew! someone rip up the original copy of that picture!).
Contrary to what Entertainment Weekly once said, Isaac was plenty old enough to ask
Leeann (Leighann? Leeanne?) Rhimes for a date when MON came out. Heck, Taylor was
old enough to! People make such a fuss about their ages, but really, Isaac's legally an adult now...I mean,
come on, people... Anywayz, I guess as the oldest member of the band,
that kind of automaticlly puts him in the position to be the leader.
He's the one that answers most of the questions during interviews,
and I can easily picture him as the brother who someday decides to go solo.
According to MMMBop to the Top, Isaac "is the responsible one... and acts
as the group's organizer and producer."
This could also have something to do with him being the oldest brother;
I read an article about how the oldest kid is usually more of a leader and often
feels the need to look out for their younger siblings. This is true to the last drop
in the Hanson's case; as Taylor says, "(Isaac) makes sure we've all got the pitch pipes
with us." But aside from being brothers, Isaac and Taylor are pretty tight friends, also.
But that bit in MMMBop to the Top about Ike practicing
karate on Taylor was quite interesting...
Okay, I think I've put enough stress on the fact that Isaac's the oldest one.
Let's move on... In my humble opinion, Isaac is the most talented of the three.
He has an absolutely awesome voice. He can play the guitar and the piano
(and I'm thinking maybe the drums... I mean, how hard can they be?). He
was the one who wrote the first song, "Rain" (I've also heard it called "Rain Falling Down").
He's the one who sings "More Than Anything" ...*grinz*. He's also very passionate about his music.
Even if the band does break up sometime in the future (God forbid!), I can still see Isaac
as a proffesional musician. Not that Taylor and Zac aren't serious about their music;
it's just really obvious with Ike. Anyone who's experienced the magic of More Than Anything
being performed live knows what I'm talking about. ::wide grin::
Music isn't the only think Isaac's passionate about. From what I've heard, it would
appear that our friend is quite girl-crazy. As Taylor said during an interview, "He doesn't like
to be portrayed that way, but he is." Ike's the romantic one, and has
been rumored to flirt with audiences in bewtween songs at concerts. *sigh* Wish I had
front row tickets... His dream girl is Cindy Crawford, but don't worry, girls, I think she's
a bit old for him...
Sources tell me that Isaac is the only member of the band
who's ever kissed a girl (other than his mom :-). Wonder who she is, what she's doing now... if she regrets
ever breaking up with him (well, if they're telling the truth when they say they're all girlfriend-less, then
she would have had to break up with him...). Or maybe they're just lying when they say
they're all single. Hee hee hee, I can just see the headlines on the Teen Beat covers:
"ISAAC HANSON SECRETLY MARRIED WITH FOUR CHILDREN! TAYLOR ENGAGED TO LEEANNE RHIMES! ZAC
SUPPOSED TO BE DATING CHELSEA CLINTON!" Sorry, girls....
Isaac also seems to have a thing for science fiction. We all know about
that book he's been working on for two (actually, it's three now) years.
There's his favorite movie, Star Wars. Wonder if he's ever had a crush
on Princess Leia? :) And then there's his nickname. Chewbacca. *sigh* couldn't it
have been Han? I like Han much better than Chewie... but then, this nickname was given
to him by the same person who once called him "Ikeypoos," so I guess we'll just hafta live with it...
Well, that's it for my attempt at writing a short biography. Tell me what ya think!
