The challenge (should you choose to accept)....
After conversations surrounding the only Billy Joel song I like, and the need for a current version I am wondering if anyone wants to play:
A "We didn't start the fire" for our lifetime.
After a small debate - 1980 to 2010. Good round numbers. Open to events/people from 1979 if well motivated though. Global.

Good idea Kez... I will give it some thought...
what's wrong with mr piano man? i love that song.
1980 = I was born.
Do we have to come up with rhyming lyrics or just events/people?
at this stage just events - then we will try put them altogether :)
Hang on, can i clarify? What are we suggesting here? Wikipedia says WDSTF was about people blaming Billys generation for problems that had been around for a while before. Are we suggesting similar thing - our generation being blamed for things that have been around for a long time? I'm confused.
Greggles, you make a point. I did not read the fine print.
Think we should make it more simple and stick to significant events/people/moments that are defining our lifetime (not necessarily only the problems).
Hoping people will send me events etc and then will start forming it into something.
idle mind...
1980 - Iran Iraq war begins
