Got this in an email from a friend... pretty cool!!!

Hope you enjoy this one!

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... very, very cool.
It's a neat flashback through the past half century. I never did know the words.
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 and Google.
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 they see. But it's great at any age.

That's pretty cool, Bethy! Just wish it went a little slower. "We Didn't Start the Fire"

Does it mean I'm really OLD if I remember all of those things? "We Didn't Start the Fire"

I kinda thought the same thing that it went slower. But the pictures just went along with the beat of the song. Which is how it was supposed to be really.

Cool slideshow...I saw him @ The Last Play at Shea a little less than a month ago, they showed a series of images very similar to this as the Billy Joel was playing.....I guess there are only so many visual variations of "The Catcher in The Rye" that can be shown!
