Holy gee willikers I was surfing porn in my other browser tab and shuffling between this and that, and as the thread grew more intense so did the porn, but my porn visualisations kept melding with Billy Joel sweating and singing, and I couldn't cum!!! :..(

Billy Joel (reportedly) wrote this song because he overheard a child say that he felt sorry for "older people" like Billy Joel because no "history" happened in their lifetime, that NOW (or the time the song was written) was going to be the world's most historical time period. The comment got to Billy Joel so much that he sat down and wrote this to prove that his lifetime has been FULL of history.

I still can't get over that he decided to end the song with "rock and roller cola wars", especially since if he had waited a month, he could've rhymed "law" with Berlin "wall" instead.
