Description

Billy Joel and the Fire Starters by Joshua John Heeley is a unique tribute to the iconic musician's 1989 hit song. The idea for "We Didn't Start the Fire" was sparked when Billy Joel met his friend Sean Lennon, who was just 21 years old at the time. This encounter inspired Joel to create a song that would weave together over 119 names, places and events from the past century. The resulting song is both an ode to history and an exploration of the people and events that shaped our world. The accompanying book offers a fresh perspective on this fascinating topic, presented in a clean and minimalist design that makes it perfect for music or history buffs looking to expand their knowledge. This book provides a new insight into Billy Joel's creative process and the historical context behind his song, making it an interesting read for anyone curious about the intersection of music and history.
