Lerxster Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm surprised no one already beat me to this sentiment: I can't believe they actually played The Trees on the radio. That DJ should be commended, not criticized (yes, I understand the original post was intended as an exaggeration/joke—and it was funny). I only ever hear Tom Sawyer and Working Man on the radio.And The Limelight, and The Subdivisions. The those four. I never tire of Tom The Sawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Reminds my of the time the radio DJ mentioned Tom Sawyer was from the album Tommy. He quickly corrected himself and then played pinball wizard. :musicnote:Those deaf dumb and blind kidsHuck, Jim and Tom Sawyer:musicnote: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Don't Tell Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It bugs me more when the band itself changes song titles on releases. For example, on the Signals record, track 2 is "The Analog Kid", however on Different Stages, it's just "Analog Kid". Also, my Fly By Night CD lists "By-Tor and the Snow Dog", and Different Stages lists "By-Tor & the Snow Dog". Other vinyl versions of FBN also list the track with the ampersand.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Dropping 'The' is a damn crime though. What's next? Da Analog Kid? Ze Analog Kid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Duio Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 That's nothing. One time the radio had De Do Do Do De Da Da Da on and after it was over the guy goes "That was another one by Sting!" Ah yes, because Stewart Copeland or Andy Summers had nothing to do with it. Because nobody's ever heard of a little band called THE POLICE before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastille Dave Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Was channel surfing this evening in the car and landed on a station playing that nice song about the Oaks, the Maples, and how they're all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw. The DJ came on afterwards and said, "Originally off the Hemispheres album, that was Rush. Trees." Trees? TREES?! It's THE Trees!!!! You IDIOT! THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS IS WHY WE DON'T WANT IGNORANT OUTSIDERS LISTENING TO OUR BAND!!!!

Unless it was a live performance. I could have been just Sting then.... Or part of a double or triple play...I have heard DJs play Henley solo with Eagles, Hagar/Roth solo with VH and say stuff like "one from Sammy Hagar..." (usually "with Van Halen" proceeds that though) Edited June 7, 2013 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 As I was driving home tonight, I saw an SUV with a MN plate that read "Trees". Obviously NOT a Rush fan...if they were, they would know it's better to get a standard issue plate than leave off the "the". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zappafrank Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) My reaction as detailed above might be slightly exaggerated. It's quite possible that when I heard it, all I thought to myself was, "Hey, it's The Trees, man."
