where does the joshua tree get its name
The Joshua Tree The Joshua Tree is the fifth studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 9Â March 1987 on Island Records. In contrast to the ambient experimentation of their 1984 release, The Unforgettable Fire, the band aimed for a harder-hitting sound within the limitation of conventional song structures on The Joshua Tree. The album is influenced by American and Irish roots music, and through sociopolitically conscious lyrics embellished with spiritual imagery, it contrasts the group's antipathy for the "real America" with their fascination with the "mythical America".
Shawshank tree The iconic tree featured in the 1994 motion picture The Shawshank Redemption was a white oak located near Malabar Farm State Park in Lucas, Ohio, United States.[2][3][4][5][6] The tree was at least 100 feet (30Â m) tall and approximately 180 to 200 years old.[1][7] The tree played a central role in the film's plot and was one of the most popular tourist sites connected to it. The tree was split by lightning on July 29, 2011, and eventually was knocked down by strong winds on or around July 22, 2016.
