Jann, thanks for thanking Susan. Now I've watched it. It is WAY COOL. Just

Kierkegaard is one of the subliminal messages in this trip down memory lane.

 This song & its title was an answer to a Final Jeopardy question--only one
person got it right.  Question was (paraphrased) "What 1980s song do history
teachers praise for its educational value."  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 hear.  Anyway, checked
to see 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 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  <http://www.google.com/> Google.

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.
