Title: "Pull Me Under" ranked 85 on list of "Top 100 songs Long Islanders should know"
Post by: Mebert78 on June 11, 2012, 10:28:23 AM
Just saw this on the website of Newsday, which is the daily newspaper for Long Island, NY.  Obviously, they have a couple of mistakes.  They used a photo of G3, not Dream Theater.  And they said Dream Theater is from Huntington, NY, when that's not true.  JP, JM and KM were from Kings Park, which is close to Huntington.  I just posted these observations in the "comments" section under the story.  But otherwise, nice to DT get some acknowledgment.

EDIT: Looks like they corrected the photo and hometown after I posted my comment! \m/

Cool!

Sucks that they went with a Six Degrees-era picture. The band looked awful at that time, I don't know why.

Like I said, they originally had a G3 pic and then changed it, so we should be happy there's a DT pic at all!
