But, for making this a history lesson that takes work. I would split up the verses and have kids search up each name or location listed. There are five verses, so split people into five groups and each group takes a verse. Grab those pens and start taking notes.
PJ: He's talking about like how, for his experience which is a lot of people's experience, is he took this job, in the beginning it was lucrative, and then once he was hooked in, they just started paying him less and less money. He actually has, I think, graphs of how his wages have gone down.
PJ: Oh, okay. So this was the one where when people started tweeting at us about this tweet, I had no idea what "wiccan life" was. I asked producer Anna Foley, she didn't know either. And so, we just spent the better part of a day just trying to figure out what this was.
PJ: Okay, so, there's this guy named Jared Knabenbaur. In his former life, he was a snobby assistant manager at GameStop, which is not a rare thing. The way he got out of that job was that he started posting video game reviews online, which he got sort of famous for on the internet. This is like the trailer for his uh, YouTube page.
SAL: I mean, obviously, I'm still trying to get into all sorts of colleges. But now the next step is to get like a Visa. Try to get a Visa. I don't know how it's going to work. My passport is long expired, but hopefully now that I have an admission I can actually start my, my application for the visa.

According to the criminal complaint, officers were dispatched shortly after 4 a.m. to the 2400 block of Fourth Street in Duluth on the report of an upstairs apartment on fire. When emergency crews arrived, they found the upstairs apartment on fire with "We Didn't Start the Fire" blaring from the unit, the complaint said.

The downstairs tenant says they woke up to their landlord, identified as Carlson, "smashing glass and breaking things" for about 20 minutes, according to the complaint. Carlson then knocked on the downstairs tenant's apartment, telling the tenant that "the house is on fire."
In Billy Joel's song, he mentions things in chronological order, and the infographic mirrors that (starting with 1949 at the top, with spokes proceeding 1 year at a time clockwise), with each colored box representing a different thing mentioned in the song. But the placement of the boxes along the rings (outer to inner) seems a bit arbitrary - they're arranged in the order of the color legend (from outer to inner). This makes for a pretty 'rainbow effect', but isn't really useful for analytics.
This infographic was so visually captivating that I really wanted it to work, but it just didn't help me understand the song. I spent a lot of time zooming and panning, trying to relate the text at the bottom to the graphic at the top, but it was more cumbersome than rewarding. I even read a page that shows the 8 preliminary versions leading up to the final infographic, but that still didn't help. It was just more of an artistic infographic than an analytic tool.
Hi Robert, I love your creations.
This is amazing
I like if you can make "vedio or audio clip of Billy Joel's song We Didn't Start the Fire" hyperlink to yello colored inner circle of the infographic in your web page ( _didnt_start_the_fire.htm)
To celebrate their last night at camp, the kids go on an overnight camping trip. Ravi and Emma take their final tests to become counselors. As they take their overnight tests, a fire spreads through the camp, destroying the Grizzly and Woodchuck Cabins.
Meanwhile, Xander and Lou take Emma and Ravi to the woods to take their final test to become counselors by spending the night in the woods by themselves and to use their skills to build a shelter and fire and find food. The CITS manage to build a shelter made of twigs, but what they don't know is when they leave, Hazel is hiding behind a bush and destroys their shelter so they won't pass their exams when they get back. They build another one, but Hazel destroys that one too. Emma wastes all the water on her boots and they have no shelter. Xander is secretly watching over Emma and Ravi until they found him and Lou nearby and ask what they were doing. Xander says he was watching them because he wasn't sure if they could do it, but Lou believes that Emma and Ravi can do it on their own. Suddenly, Xander notices that the camp is on fire and the counselors and CITS along with the campers rush to the scene of the fire.
They arrive to see Woodchuck and Grizzly cabins on fire. Xander and Lou go to call the fire department while Ravi leads the campers to the emergency gathering spot near the lake and Emma stays behind to make sure no one else gets left behind. The fire department arrives to put out the fire.
The next morning the fire is out, but everything that was in the cabins are destroyed (except Tiffany's violin because of a fire-proof case). Gladys goes to the counselors and CITs and tells them that the firemen found a shorted-out curling iron still plugged in which belonged to Emma and an electric razor with a frayed wire which belonged to Ravi. Hazel tells Gladys to banish Emma, but Gladys says the firemen are still conducting their investigating.
When Ravi stubs his toe, he finds a melted candle holder under Xander's bed and figures out that the candle was what started the fire when it fell under the bed. Emma sees that the candle belongs to Hazel because the bottom is labeled "Essence of Xander" and that Hazel uses Xander's ear wax to make candles. Hazel admits that she's must've forgotten to put out the flame in the candle after her date with Xander's pillow.
When Gladys comes back Emma makes Hazel admit to Gladys that she started the fire but doesn't banish Hazel because she owns her dad 20 grand for her spider vain removal. Ravi says that he and Emma can't leave because they still need more time to take their overnight Counselor exams, but Gladys since the fire was a real life crisis, Emma and Ravi proved themselves worthy of being counselors and Gladys promotes them while Hazel is demoted to CIT for burning down the cabins to Hazel's horror that they're in charge of her next summer. Xander and Lou congratulate the new counselors.
This lesson introduced you to the meaning behind Billy Joel's famous song, We Didn't Start the Fire, which gives a rapid-fire history lesson spanning 1949 to 1989. Here are some ways you can deepen your understanding of what you just learned.
"We Didn't Start the Fire" is a song by Billy Joel first released on September 27, 1989, as a single and then in his album Storm Front one month later. The song chronicles various major events in the 20th century, everything from scientific and cultural advances to political events in chronological order. The rapid-fire delivery of the events spanning roughly fifty years represents the breakneck pace of progress and change in the 20th century, the almost inconceivable rate at which events unfurled in a short length of time. Throughout the chorus, the narrator laments that these events were set in motion long before the current generation came to be and are the result of history unfolding.
The song begins by listing events starting in the 1940s. As an examination of the changing times, this makes sense since Joel himself was born in 1949. Early references in the song are about music and pop culture, but into the 1950s, politics begin to take center stage. The interchange between pop culture and politics shows the intertwined nature of the world and how one keeps going despite the other.
"We Didn't Start the Fire" is an example of a stream of consciousness, a style where a given piece of text or dialogue flows from one thought to the next without much structure. Topics and ideas change rapidly, often without warning. While the stream of consciousness is typically random, the lyrics were written before they were recorded and are only an approximation. Combined with a rapid-fire delivery, the lyrics show the fast pace at which the 20th century changed for many people.
"We Didn't Start the Fire" is one of Billy Joel's most popular songs. Originally a single later released in his album Storm Front, the song mentions historical events from the 1940s up to 1989. It lists 117 historical facts and names in a rapid-fire, stream of consciousness delivery that downplays the piano and relies on guitar and percussion. Joel wrote the lyrics before recording the song, though, responding to the idea that people romanticize the past. For example, people of later generations might look at the 1960s as a much more innocent time, but the 1960s included scandals such as payola, the scandal involving disk jockeys taking money to play certain songs on the radio.
