We Didn’t Start the Fire
Hi, Everybody- January has blown by like a series of explosions-metaphorically speaking; I’m reminded of a song by Billy Joel, “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Written in 1989, it is a rapid fire commentary on American culture, conflicts and chaos throughout its history. The song comes straight at you from the start, full of irony and accusation. https://youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g?si=M80i2NEMxU6iNgIf The video reinforces the lyrics with dark caricatures of American lifestyle.
