Kind
(page 6)
I would get records by Earl Scruggs... I would tune my banjo down and I'd pick out the songs note by note. Learned how to play that way. I persevered. There was a book written by Pete Seeger, who showed you some basic strumming and some basic picking... And I kind of worked out my own style of playing.
I like styling girls that don't normally dress in vintage clothes and don't normally wear red lipstick; I like seeing those kind of girls restyled in a retro way.
Social media forces girls to bear witness to painful realities of relationship that were previously hidden from view. It is a new kind of TMI, or 'too much information': publicly posted photographs of an outing or party you did not attend, or a personal web page like Formspring, can send a girl into paroxysms of anxiety and grief.
A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Be kind, don't judge, and have respect for others. If we can all do this, the world would be a better place. The point is to teach this to the next generation.
Hanson has rapid female fans, which I'm completely proud of, but a lot of fans are a contingent that have grown up with us really — our peers. There's younger fans. More and more guys are Hanson fans, musicians or kind of guys who were into a Beatles record.
My favorite type of pet has always been a dog. They're loyal, kind, and offer endless affection. My friend Eric says, 'The more people I meet, the more I like my dog'. Funny thought.
