Love Me Some History!! Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire

                      

Today's throwback could quite possible be one of my favorite classics.  I, like Billy Joel, wanted to be a History teacher for the longest time...still do! It would be a pretty sweet dream job!  I've always loved how this song documents headline events from 1949 through 1989 ( 1949 being the year Joel was born till the time the song came out. ) and obviously his love for history.
The song is called "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel off the album Storm Front.  I'll admit it's always been a dream of mine to memorize every lyric to this song.... one day, one day.  The music video is so memorable!  I can still picture the fist time i saw it, i loved how it followed the story of a middle class married couple living the "American Dream" so to speak.  No matter how hard they try, the culture of the world keeps changing them and everything around them.  The whole album is pretty good, filled with a lot of good ole 80's classics!
