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 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! & I got every one of them.

Thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the University of Chicago with a lot of spare time

The Top left gives you full screen.....top right lets you pause. Bottom left shows the year.

The older you are, the more pictures you will recognize.

Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what you see. But it's great for any age. Take a deep breath (you'll need it) and click on the following.

I recommend the full screen!!"

A feature:
(1) you can click it any time and get a Wikipedia page giving the history of the item.
(2) then you close that window
(3) that gives you the old page at pause; you click “play” at the upper right to continue.
