Ya know, I've always been a fan of this song. And I always knew that it was about real life stuff that happened. I really do enjoy singing this song, but today I discovered a site that goes into details about everything Billy Joel is singing about. Now I knew about some of the stuff, but most I had no idea what it was about. After reading the page I realized how good this song actually is, and how messed up our world was/is. Billy Joel seems to nail it perfeclt. Now granted, it's about his generation "didn't start the fire, " since baby boomers and the such blame his generation. But still, check out this page. I have rediscovered this song and now think of it not only as a great song, but a song with true deep meaning to it, now that I understand what he is singing about.
