Living Legend BILLY JOEL (born named William Martin Joel 75 years ago in NYC)
scored many hits. One of them was WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE from his 11th LP
Storm Front. It topped the US Chart on 9 December 1989, today 35 years ago.
The song’s fast-paced lyrics include a series of brief references to significant
political, cultural, scientific, and sporting events between 1949 (year of Joel‘s
birth) and 1989, in mainly chronological order.
