I am a big Billy Joel fan too and just to say, yes I know this is comedy and I certainly had no reason to be bothered by it and do not feel that comfortable even making this post, but did so just for context reasons regarding how the song came to be. And yes it is still a list and he usually writes the music first and then adds lyrics to his songs, but he had turned 40 in 1989 when it was written and in a conversation with some 20-somethings, they had said it was a significant time in history with the end of the Cold War approaching and when Billy said he remembers a similar thing at their age, they said nothing significant happened back then. So originally just as a mental exercise, he listed in chronological order year by year the significant events and people from the year he was born in 1949 to the then present day. The "We Didn't Start the Fire" line was in response to it also being said that the current day's problems were down to the previous generation, so Billy's response was: We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

We didn't start the fire came out when I was in my late teens. I already had an interest in history, but that song cemented it. I wanted to know what every person and event in it was. Now, more than 30 years later, I am a historian and archaeologist and a history teacher. List/conversation with rain man it may be to some, but to at least one teen, it inspired a lifelong passion.

Einstein was part of the status quo and that’s a classic method of psychological manipulation to blame the victim for their own demise.

We Didn't Start the Fire was actually inspired by a friend of a friend who told Billy he had it easy because he grew up in the '50s, and "everyone knows that nothing happened in the '50s." The point was that life is a giant bundle of chaos. Always has been, always will be. Still kind of a weird song, but it's catchy and it comes with a good story, soooo... idk. Just thought I'd share.

I fair nigh pissed myself when he said the guy cut the corners out of the carrier bag to make pants.......with the Levy log on it too .......don't ever die Ridky we need to have a good belly laugh frequently before we roll over and do it again.
