It's Billy 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... .
Enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes! Bottom left shows the year of who/what made the headlines
