Résumé

Lighting the Fuse: A Historical Analysis of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"Billy Joel's iconic anthem "We Didn't Start the Fire" ignited minds when it first hit the airwaves in 1989-an explosive catalog of names, events, and headlines that raced through the second half of the 20th century. In Lighting the Fuse, author B. P. Stone takes readers beyond the lyrics, transforming the song's rapid-fire rhythm into a compelling historical journey.
This compact, fact-based companion dissects every reference in Joel's whirlwind of cultural snapshots. From geopolitical flashpoints like the Korean War and the Bay of Pigs to pop culture touchstones like Elvis Presley and Woodstock, the book brings clarity and context to the song's chaotic energy. Each chapter unpacks the stories behind the lyrics, offering digestible but meticulously researched accounts of the people, movements, and moments that shaped a generation, and beyond.
