We didn't start the Fire

[Khunajawdge]

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... very, very cool. Had to share this one. It's a cooool flashback through the past half century. I never did know the words. Turn up volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes! Thanks to Billy Joel and 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. And a real history lesson for the youngsters -- it's great at any age.

I HATE that song!!!!! One of the few Billy Joel songs that I just can't stand! And now it's stuck in my head, just from reading the thread title!

DIE!!! DIE!!!! DIE!!!!

No comment on the actual post. I didn't play it. Going elsewhere now. . . . .

That was great but I hate to admit it but I knew all but 3 which might say something about my age.

That was pretty cool. I like the ability to click on any picture and get the info of the subject. The music wasn't too bad either.

Gee Boomer, maybe you just have an education with a > 2.5 gpa?

Or you went to a school with real teachers.

Could be. Sorta
