Summer of 1997

There I am, in my car, driving around 3 girls from my youth group. I did what I always do… “you have to hear this song!… no wait, this one… oh my gosh isn’t this song AWESOME??”

Maggie asked who we were listening to, and I excitedly responded with “Hanson!”

She asked, “is that his first name?”

and I almost choked on air.

“You know… MMMBop…”

and nothing. I pulled over, opened the trunk and found my copy of Middle of Nowhere in my CDs. I sat back in the car and began to prepare them for what they were about to hear.

“It was the Summer of 1997…” I began.

Victoria interrupted me.

“We weren’t even born then.”

MMMBop has been around for longer than most of the girls in my youth group. Chew on that one.

  1. I don’t want to think about the implications of that. The real question is…did they listen to MMMBop? And, what did they think?
