God I hope that song is metaphorical, and not just retardical.

Let Neal Peart explain it best…

“No. It was just a flash. I was working on an entirely different thing when I saw a cartoon picture of these trees carrying on like fools. I thought, “What if trees acted like people?” So I saw it as a cartoon really, and wrote it that way. I think that’s the image that it conjures up to a listener or a reader. A very simple statement.” — Neil Peart, in the April/May 1980 Modern Drummer magazine

What percentage of the student body can even read one? 50?

From AU’s website:

Pre-poisoning, no I don’t think the power washing was harmful. Post-poisoning, yes it is. Not sure if they still do, but in the recent past they had people out there monitoring when leaves, etc. fell so that there would not be an recontamination in the surrounding soil.

the maples didn’t appreciate that the oaks took all the light

Members of the task force from horticulture, forestry, and agronomy and soils are in agreement that rolling the trees is not harmful, and have advised university administration that if the rolling celebration continues, they be cleaned by hand, rather than with power hoses as in the past. The high pressure hoses can injure the trees by knocking off foliage, leaves and bark. We also recommend the barricades around the beds remain in place indefinitely.

it ended by hatchet, ax and saw

I wonder if all the high pressure water they blast those trees with to get the toilet paper off after they get rolled has cuased those trees any damage?

No.

I’m so confused.

Are the oaks dead or what?

Still under constant surveillance. There is still hope for them but it’s slim.
