Pet Peeve: The Spirit of Radio


The Notorious B.S.G.

Recommended Posts

You're the greatest.

 

I've never had the heart to post that. I hate it too. I once had this guy bring me into his garage to show me this shield he had made for the front of his truck. He was so proud of it.

 

It said: "Spirit Of The Radio". I was like, Oh... um... that's really cool.

 

I hope he didn't pay too much. biggrin.gif

People who speak Spanish as a first language put "the" in front of EVERY noun, we can forgive them, can't we??

Not sure about Portugease (sp?) like our Brazilian friends speak...

Absolutely - not an issue in my corner. Now, explain to me the English speaking population who get it wrong right after the proclamation of being the world's biggest Rush fan. laugh.gif

Lol, whats the matter with you, I always knew it was The Spirit Of Radio tongue.gif

Funny, I thought it was just Spirit of Radio

 

(goes to check Permanent Waves cassette and 12" single)

 

Yep, no 'the' at all on them biggrin.gif

(yes, I know Geddy tends to announce it as THE Spirit of Radio - I'm just being pedantic cool.gif )

 

Seriously, some of my firends at school were even more annoying when they used to call it THE Spirit of THE Radio and talk about the album called 'THE Farewell to THE Kings.

 

How I never committed murder I don't know.

I hate that too. I don't know why, maybe because it's one of Rush's most popular, most played songs and some of the biggest Rush fans think it's "tHE SPIRIT OF tHE rADiO" wacko.gif

The Spirit of Radio isn't on ATWAS...that was a different era...it was still 2 or 3 years before The Spirit of Radio was born!

Hey I finally found a "The Spirit of the Radio" reference. It's in the Chronicles liner notes written by John Swenson.
