There are 119 historical references in this song. Britannica (the encyclopedia) has a link online that goes over every one of them called "All 119 References in “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” explained" They all happened between the years that Billy Joel was alive, up until the point of release of this song, so 1949 to 1989. Piano Man was released in 1973, this song was released in 1989, so Piano Man was definitely first. The point of this song is just to say basically, "Sh&t happens in every year and generation."

Billy Joel was inspired to write this song when Sean Lennon (John Lennon's son) whose was young at the time... came into his studio with a friend and was talking to Joel about how his generation had so many problems and Billy Joel's didn't . Billy Joel, then wrote this song about his generation as a response!

Piano Man was way before this! This was all the events that happened from the time Billy was born until the year this came out.

@TheMarrification

The song is saying ‘stop blaming the previous generation for the world’s problems. We didn’t start it, they were going on back then, but we’re trying to fight it.’

John Lennon, of The Beatles, was assassinated, in NY, in early 80's. It was a huge deal. Lohn Lennon had a son Sean who was now a young man. Billy and Sean were talking and Sean said that things were so much easier in Billys days. Billy put together current event titles, political scandal, war, happiness, young love etc. We literally did NOT start the fire" however though we didnt light it and we tried to fight it....it will still go and on and on.... "Song starts in 1949, when Billy is born. Song ends in 1989 when Michael Jackson was on side Pepsi and Bruce Springsteen rocked for Coke. Literally "rock n roller cola wars! Teachers still use😊 the breakdown of those lyrics in class. 😊

All the events are listed in chronological order from 1949 to 1989. It's making the point that the world has always been fucked up, although every generation thinks that they have it the worst.

You can't go wrong with Billy Joel. Piano Man was early Billy. This is newer Billy. No, not Lucy, just an actress

I had a HS history teacher use this song for major events. We had to categorize each line by decade and it's significance. One of the most memorable lessons that will stick with me forever. Love your content!

Us baby boomers can really relate to this having lived through the events of post WW II. It’s about good and evil and a reminder that when evil things are going on there are always people who try to correct them and bring change. You should really read the full lyrics of the song to appreciate the real message. Thanks for your reaction to this. 👏👏

Billy’s message with this song: The world’s a mess, it’s always been a mess and its always going to be a mess. These are the headlines from Billy’s first 40 years of life. 1949-1989.

Everything he named in the song had a significant impact on culture, politics and history from the year Billy was born (right after WWII) through the year he wrote the song (around 1989), and it's chronological. People have put together articles where they explain each reference and name in a list. Yeah, it's worth reading about. Interesting reaction. Thanks for checking this out.

Goodnight Saigon is the best! He always had veterans at every concert singing the chorus. 😊

These are newspaper headlines from when he was young up until he wrote the song

you don't have to apologize for stopping and looking it up. Man, i wanted to understand this song so bad when i was 13 and i didnt have any way to find out what is really happening here.

“Scenes in an Italian Restaurant” is an Awesome early Billy! It’s like a cross between Beatles Sargeant Peppers era, and Queen Bohemian Rhapsody’s multiple sounds in one track!

I believe this song was inspired by a conversation he had with John Lennon's son Sean and a friend of Sean's. The friend said something like "Well, life was just simpler when you were younger. You didn't have these constant daily crises like we do now"...Joel was thinking: "It's always been constant daily crises"...

Billy Joel’s, “River of Dreams,” is my favorite song from his later years!
