WOW ! MY BLOG IS NOW "EDUMACATIONAL"...not !!!

  It's title was the answer to one of last week's Final Jeopardy  -- only one person got it right.  Question was (paraphrased) "What 1980's song do history teachers praise for its educational value."  Never could understand all the references on Billy Joel's song -- fortunately, with this VIDEO, given the picture(S), now I can "see" what my "ears" couldn't. 

 Anyway,  I checked to see purpose behind the song.  Apparently, it's Joel's homage to the 40-years of historical headlines since his birth (1949).  WAY TOOOO COOL !!!

Here it is, set to pictures... very, very cool. Had to share this one. It's a neat flashback through the past half century. I never did know the words. Turn up the 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 with a lot of spare  time and Google.

SO TURN OFF MY PLAYLIST (on the right-hand side, just click on the lopsided triangle) AND CLICK LINK BELOW!  ENJOY!!!    We Didn't Start The Fire
