Another email worth a listen

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. 
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!

Bob, that was great, never did know what he was saying before, well, a bit here and there maybe. It reminds me of the word 'passion' we human beings get caught up in if we're lucky!
