| We were there: Hanson brothers still have rhythm, energy, harmony »
"Did you hear how shaky my voice was?" Laura whispered to Grace after asking Taylor how the Hanson brothers' "Walk Around the World" tour is going. The sisters were among hundreds of fans who walked barefoot with Hanson at Southern Methodist University Sunday afternoon. The Hanson brothers are walking a mile barefoot in every city they tour in to help raise awareness about poverty and AIDS in Africa. Laura and Grace said they didn't mind walking barefoot on mulch, grass and cement if it meant having a chance to talk to the Hanson brothers. Self-described "die-hard fans," the sisters have traveled throughout Texas and Oklahamo to see the brothers perform. "We've only been following them for, like, 11 years," Laura said. Their friends wonder why they haven't outgrown their Hanson phase, but Laura, 24, and Grace, 21, said they're not ashamed to be teeny-boppers at heart. By the end of the walk, they were tired from trying to stay up toward the front of the line where the Hanson brothers were. "Ouch, my feet ..." Laura said as the walk ended. "I know," Grace said, looking down at her dirty feet. "But it was worth it." |
