TIME MMMMARCHES ON
Like a comet in the night sky, they flared oh-so-brightly and disappeared — and then came back a few years later. In 1997 the pop group HANSON — brothers ZAC (the little one), TAYLOR (the cute one) and ISAAC (the other one)--sold more than 8 million copies of their debut album, Middle of Nowhere (maybe you remember their No. 1 single, MMMBop), but the band's second effort flopped, and Hanson went away for a long stay in pop purgatory. Now they're back playing club dates in support of a folksy new album called Underneath Acoustic. Little Zac is 17 and stubbly, and Taylor is (sigh) married with a child. Can you match names to faces, then and now? That's Taylor, Zac and Isaac in 1997, left to right, and again in 2003, top to bottom.
