Full disclosure: when I was twelve, I was a hardcore, die-hard Hanson fan. I knew all the lyrics to their debut album, Middle of Nowhere, and so did millions and millions of other prepubescent girls around the nation. Hanson was perfect for twelve year olds. They were young, cute, never sung about anything offensive, and most important of all they wrote and played their own instruments. Unlike the other schlock that was being marketed towards my undeveloped brain like Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and NSYNC, these kids actually had some modicum of authenticity.

Was Adam Schlesinger born to write music? Maybe if his neighbor had been a rocket scientist, he would had made another choice. Lucky for us, his childhood best friend's dad worked as a composer. Adam started writing songs at a very young age. He is one of the most sought after and prolific songwriters working today.
