Click the link at the bottom of the page and make sure you have the volume up


50 years of history in 3 minutes

Whether you're a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably recognize his great song, "We Didn't Start the Fire." Here it is, set to pictures. I never did know all the words. 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 a lot of spare time - 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 50 should remember over 90% of what they see. But it's great at any age.



Best watched in full screen mode! It goes fast so you may want to watch it more than once. Turn up the volume and enjoy!!
