To many, the record evokes freedom in the open road and the untamed expanses of the American Southwest. But several songs like “Bullet the Blue Sky” also rail against Reagan–era American foreign policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But something’s always puzzled San Gabriel Valley-based musicians and U2 fans David Tokaji and Russell Wiener: Why isn’t there \u003cem>a song\u003c/em> called “The Joshua Tree?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There of course isn't. So, they wrote one called \"(Chopping Down) The Joshua Tree.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOWpXgcx3LM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the premise of a tribute band Tokaji and Wiener formed with fellow musician Andy Hill called the \u003ca href=\"http://www.thetitletrackers.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Title Trackers \u003c/a>to create title tracks for classic rock albums that don’t have one, each written and performed in the style of that artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They're all bands we love, but we also love to poke a little bit of affectionate fun. It’s a loving parody,” says Tokaji, who’s always been told he sings like Bono anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who love U2, they hear the song and laugh their asses off,” adds Wiener, who replicates The Edge’s chiming, propulsive guitar work with startling accuracy. In fact, he’s pranked some people, asking; Hey, have you heard this U2 song that never got released?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who don’t like them just go like, 'Yeah, that’s a U2 song, I hate that song,' \" laughs Wiener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Title Trackers set out on their own journey to find the elusive Joshua tree two years ago. When they did, they shot a music video to go with their fake title track. It lovingly mocks a band they adore and pays tribute to the site itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For somebody who is even a casual fan, it's really hard not to be moved to be out there,” says Takaji. “If nothing else, to see the power and the beauty and the richness that this site, and that album by extension, has brought to people’s lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11467033\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11467033\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-800x470.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-800x470.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-160x94.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-1020x599.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-1180x693.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-960x564.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-240x141.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-375x220.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-Leave-It-rocks-520x306.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fan-created rock formations welcome visitors to the site of U2’s Joshua tree. \u003ccite>(Steven Cuevas / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s not clear if anyone in U2 knows this place near the edge of Death Valley has become a sacred pilgrimage site for fans and curious desert explorers alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a recent interview on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/20/520443744/u2-on-the-joshua-tree-a-lasting-ode-to-a-divided-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR’s Morning Edition\u003c/a>, vocalist Bono did say the searching spirit that helped inspire the record is as relevant today as it was 30 years ago when a different celebrity-turned-politician was leading the “two Americas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And at a time like this, it is a moment to re-evaluate yourself, your value system, what you believe in,” said Bono. “And I imagine Americans are going through that right now, you know, 'What is this country?' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11467114\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11467114\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/J-TREE-lads-sign-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Among the tributes at the site of U2’s Joshua tree, a thank-you note made of marble. \u003ccite>(Steven Cuevas / KQED )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>To find the Joshua Tree site, here’s a helpful hint: If traveling from the west, use \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Olancha,+CA+93549/@36.2707219,-118.0367465,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80c0615957e32429:0x4abbaec4c0c38c39!8m2!3d36.2818827!4d-118.0064718\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olancha\u003c/a> as a starting point.
