For those of a certain era !!!!!!!!
We Didn't Start the Fire
This song & it's title was answer to one of last week's Final Jeopardy -- only one
person got it right. Question was (paraphrased) "What 1980's song do history teachers
praise for its educational value?"
I never could understand all the references on Billy Joel's song -- fortunately, with this VIDEO,given the picture(s), we now can "see" what our "ears" couldn't.
Anyway, have you ever checked to see the purpose behind the song?Apparently, it's Joel's homage to the 40-years of historical headlines since his birth (1949).
Wish we could have appreciated the depths of this song when it was released. Twenty years later,
it's amazing what Joel was able to put into music and lyrics lasting only a few minutes.
Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his great song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire..'
Here it is, set to pictures... . It's a neat flashback through the past half century. I never did know all the words.
Turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes! Thanks to Billy Joeland some guy from the University of Chicago with a lot of spare time and Google .
Top left gives you full screen....top right lets you pause. Bottom left shows the year. The older you are, the more
pictures you will recognize. Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what they see. But it's great at any age.
