Any of you who like that song by Billy Joel, We Didn't Start the Fire, about historic events of the 20th century, might really like this. I was just browsing and found this where it plays the song and shows pictures of the events to coincide with the lyrics. Really clever :)

Wow, I had NO idea what some of those lyrics were, until seeing the picture.

Thanks. :)

And, if you are feeling really studious ... here is site where you can click on any event that you are unfamilar with (for us Gen-Xer's, all but the last verse!) and it will explain it to you!

Great! Glad you guys enjoyed it :D. I really like Billy Joel too, I think he's a very talented artist. That song is really unique I think, as it goes through all those generations of events, and then with the chorus puts it into a perspective or analogy that is very apt.

If you looked at the subliminal message part, this one was my favorite:

"I am not young enough to know everything"

:D
