20th century nostalgia

My friend Ed sent me this link to a Billy Joel song "We Didn't Start the Fire" - it is a summary of history of the second half of the 20th century.

The link is at http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~yeli23/Flash/Fire.html (it needs Flash player, of course).

When the song is playing, you can click on the "Lyrics" link (lower right hand corner) and see the lyrics and the event year for each picture. It would be interesting to have something like this for each decade...with an appropriate music selection.

This is history, not genealogy, but I love stuff like this - it's visual. Enjoy.
