What are you listening to part three

IN VINO VERITAS
I took my wife to a Flatt Rascal Concert.
She keeps the CMT channel on all day.
Not always my cup of tea (Modern Country) , but I love her.
I grew up on old country. It has definitely changed over the years but it's still good. I just recently started listening to it again, in the last 2 years. I would say, I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll.

It has a really big following. I like some of what my wife listens to.
You would think with texan as a handle it is automatic. Just shows one can not sterotype. :cowboysmile:

If you don't do anything else the rest of the day, do yourself a favor
now and just watch/listen to this totally awesome video. Read the
stuff first so you can tell what's going on..... It's awesome!
This song and its title was the answer to one question of Final Jeopardy.
Only one person got it right. Question was (paraphrased):
"What 80's song do history teachers praise for its educational value?"
I never could understand all the references on Billy Joel's song --
fortunately, with this VIDEO, given the pictures, now I can "see" what
my "ears" couldn't. Apparently, it's Joel's homage to the 40-years of
historical headlines since his birth (1949). -- Wish I could have
appreciated the depths of this song when it was released.
Twenty years later, I'm in awe of what Joel was able to put into music
and lyrics lasting only a few minutes.
Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his
great song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire.' Here it is, set to pictures...
Very, very cool. Had to share this one. It's a neat flashback through
the past half century. I never did know the words. Turn up the volume,
sit back and en joy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3
minutes! Thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the University of
Chicago with a lot of spare time and Google.
Top left gives you full screen....top right lets you pause. Bottom
left shows the year. The older you are, the more pictures you will
recognize. Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what they
see. But it's great at any age.
