Fan Casting We Didn't Start the Fire, revamped
A look at world history, 1948-1989.
by Billy Joel
Story added by shears on July 30, 2023
Story Plot
Billy Joel's hit song We Didn't Start the Fire documents over 100 world events from his youth in 1949 (though the first two events are from 1948) until the year the song was made, 1989. This is an expanded version with at least 1 person assigned to each event (or at least I tried to).
