Billy Joel - Restart The Fire This song & its title was answer to a recent 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 can "see" what our "ears" couldn't. Anyway, checked to see purpose behind the song. Apparently, it's Joel's homage to the 40-years of historical headlines since his birth (1949). Wish we could have appreciated the depths of this song when it was released. Twenty years later, it's amazing what Joel was able to put into music and lyrics lasting only a few minutes. Here it is, set to pictures. It's a neat flashback through the past half century. 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 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 65 should remember over 90% of what they see. But it's great at any age. I had to watch it 3 times to even get most of the pictures. Click Here: We Didn't Start The Fire

This is soooo cool. Sit back and enjoy it and then the next time click on the images. Hard to believe this was all in our lifetime. I must be old because I recognize or have heard of most of them. 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. Had to share this one. It's a neat flashback through the past half century. I never did know all the words. Turn up your volume, sit back, and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes!

All of you know the Piano man Billy Joel. Well he is a well know Long Islander and musician but most dont know how much he is into Motorcycles. In Sag Harbor on Long Island there is an Art Gallery called Christys and he is currently showing 20 of his coolest Motorcycles ranging from his own companies productiions of new Harleys Retroed to look like nostalgic motorcycles right down to the rocker boxes converted to the old Panhead style. Also among them is a 1979 Wing, Several Royal Enfields, A vincent and a few Ducatis from the 70s. Great show. It is Running from June 6th to June 20th so plenty of time to see it. Here is the website to his MC company called 20th Century Cycles. http://20thcc.com/ I will post some of the pics I took later. Been trying so far for 3 days!!! LOL

I know I have seen it before but can't find it now. I am about to buy a new venom for the rear of my Venture and want to be sure it has not been on the rack for 3 or 4 years. Can someone help me in reading the code on the tire as to date made. Thanks, Joel
