From the e-mail bag: a history lesson

This is fun to watch, especially if you're a Billy Joel fan.
Ralph and I saw him in concert w-a-a-a-y back in '86.

"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--- Had to share this one. It's a fabulous flashback through the past half century. 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 too much time to Google !

I wonder how many of the images those under 40 will recognize from the early part of the song?? You might have to watch this more than once."
