Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire (Historically Accurate Almanac) COMPLETE

[@rufinomedado3184]

its cuz we didn't start the fire. Its been burning since the world's been turning

[@dominicperrone2790]

Now for those who don't know, Billy Joel wrote this song because a young man visited him in the studio and told him that "It's crazy to be my age. But you didn't have anything going on when you were growing up. Nothing really happened." And so Mr. Joel proceeded to list the major historical world wide events that happened from the time he was born (May of 1949) until 1989, which ultimately became this song which he calls "A birthday gift" to himself because he was turning 40 the year this song was released.

[@PrinceofDrill]

It's funny because as a kid in the early 2000s, I told my dad, who was in his 60s, the opposite. I told him that all of the important, cool or groundbreaking things happened in his lifetime, before me. I guarantee you it was before 9/11 too. I didn't know anything and if the Billy Joel story is to be believed, neither did that kid.

[@tediousmaximus1067]

I heard that the young man was John Lennon's son Julian Lennon.

[@ambash2]

I heard that the young man was a friend of Sean Ono Lennon’s

[@ambash2]

“Joel was in the studio trying to come up with song ideas for the album, when Sean Lennon stopped by with his friend, who had just turned 21 and was lamenting over how tough his generation had it. Joel, who was approaching 40, commiserated with the young men, recalling how 21 was also a tough age for him with the Vietnam War, civil rights upheavals, and other crises. But Joel was astounded when Sean's friend claimed Joel didn't have it so bad because he grew up in the '50s, and "everyone knows that nothing happened in the '50s." In response, Joel started jotting down all of the events and major figures he could remember from his generation and a song idea was born - not just for baby boomers, but for anyone struggling in this perpetually messy world. Joel told biographer Fred Schruers: "What does the song really mean? Is it an apologia for the baby boomers? No, it's not. It's just a song that says the world's a mess. It's always been a mess, it's always going to be a mess."

If ya think that just look where it starts. Harry Truman who became president after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt who was the president during most of the second world war. A bit before that was the war to end all wars, the first world war. lol WWII 1937 for Japan/China spread to global in 1939 with Germany, 1941 included the US and ended in 1945 with two nukes. WWI 1914-1918 So 80 years from1909-1989 ya get two world wars. Cut 40 years 1949-1989 and leave those two out the entire thing seems much more peaceful by comparison of the two halves.

As a young teacher in the '90s, I used this song as a research project. Back then, we were still using card catalogs and periodical searches. Learning how to research was a skill. Knowing how to find articles on microfilm needed to be taught. Each of these events was presented to the class on by one. We also made a huge bulletin board. When we listened to the song after all the presentations, it had so much more depth to those of us who did not grow up in those earlier times.

I forget how the story goes but roughly someone told Billy Joel nothing important has happened in his lifetime and that it wasn’t as exciting as the other mans. Billy knew that wasn’t correct and also researched every big event that’s happened since his birth. So every major event since his birth (1949) until the release of this song (1989) was covered in this brilliant work of art. Thank you Joel.

[@ambash2]

This is what prompted him writing this song: “Joel was in the studio trying to come up with song ideas for the album, when Sean Lennon stopped by with his friend, who had just turned 21 and was lamenting over how tough his generation had it. Joel, who was approaching 40, commiserated with the young men, recalling how 21 was also a tough age for him with the Vietnam War, civil rights upheavals, and other crises. But Joel was astounded when Sean's friend claimed Joel didn't have it so bad because he grew up in the '50s, and "everyone knows that nothing happened in the '50s." In response, Joel started jotting down all of the events and major figures he could remember from his generation and a song idea was born - not just for baby boomers, but for anyone struggling in this perpetually messy world. Joel told biographer Fred Schruers: "What does the song really mean? Is it an apologia for the baby boomers? No, it's not. It's just a song that says the world's a mess. It's always been a mess, it's always going to be a mess."

There are others and obviously a lot of these would have to be worded much shorter, but I think you guys get it. As for the 2000s how about Al Gore and George Bush recount, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, family guy gets cancelled, Adult Swim, family guy gets renewed, Janet Jackson Superbowl wardrobe malfunction, Brady vs Peyton, Spygate, Heath Ledger the Joker, the ShamWow guy goes to prison, online console gaming, motion controls in video games, Sega leaves the console Market, Billy Mays OxiClean, Bernie Mac, Hurricane Katrina, Super Size Me, Fahrenheit 911, Team America World Police, Kim Jong ill, Fidel Castro death, North Korea obsessed with nukes, 9/11, earthquake in Haiti, steroids in the Olympics, China hires underage girls for gymnastics in 2008 Summer Olympics, Michael Phelps sweeps 8 gold medals, Usain Bolt breaks records and is a douche, Governator Schwarzenegger, World of Warcraft, Blackberry, iPhone, Droid does, Android, Comcast, Cingular overtaken by AT&T, Pac Bell turns into SBC, SBC overtaken by AT&T, Verizon, Star Trek Enterprise, Star Wars prequels, Hayden Christensen, Red Sox and White Sox break World Series curse, Red Sox comeback from 3 games down against archrival Yankees, economic recession, Wall Street bailout, Prius. These are obviously in no particular order and I think I've realized I put too many names of brands in there. Now as for the 2010s up until today it's going to get confusing for me.
