Thank you. That was the statue of Saddam Hussein.

Dang, this is awesome!

Did you know.... that Billy Joel actually has to look out into the audience to find someone that is singing along in order to sing this song at his concerts? Out of all the songs he has created, this is the one he has the most trouble with remembering. (also, he made another version of the song with events in Texas history.)

He should update this song, there would be so much to add to it.

the only thing i did not like was the volcano where it was looped

wow the ending with the 9/11 attack really touched me

Very nice video...I really liked it a lot! The only criticism I have is that the photo you used for "Woodstock" was not from the original '69 show which was being referenced in the song, but a photo from the 1994 anniversary show instead (which is the one I was actually at, so I didn't REALLY mind). ;) Really great job, though! :)

@Juliaflo ... because of it being the year of the birth of the song's author. Billy Joel was born in May of 1949. :)

"terror on the airline" those are the faces of the 9/11 hijackers which wouldn't happen for another 12 years. shouldn't a pic of the debris of Pan Am flight 103 be there, instead?

JFK= best president

great video, props to you (good job)

[Juliaflo]

@1994chocolatemilk Actually, the song covers popular culture from 1949 to 1989.

1949 for the most obvious reason--What?

Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving.
