i just attended a webinar about billy joel a couple days ago, and learned, among other things, that he was very well read, which is why all hundred and something references in the song are in chronological order! also he wrote it after hanging out in his studio with sean lennon, who thought kids in the 1950s had it easier growing up because they didn't have to deal with AIDS and stuff. so billy thought he'd point out some of the challenges that kids growing up in previous decades did have to deal with.

Beelzebub: "Alright, what's everyone been up to this quarter?"
Hastur: "I tempted politician."
Ligur: "I tempted a priest."
Crowley: "Right, so, I've taken the liberty of running an extension cable from the surface down here, and I will be presenting, in chronological order, every deed I've done to Billy Joel's, 'We Didn't Start the Fire.'"

We Didn’t Start the Fire - 50 Years of Fandom

password to watch: fandom!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am neither Fiercynn nor Scribe - hence the link. I just felt it was entirely, entirely, completely necessary to share this with everyone, because this is one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen in my life. I just - fuck. I’m in tears as I type this, because this vid? Is not about a bunch of fandoms, it’s about what fandom is, it’s about a tradition that goes back a long, long time of people looking at stories and saying “here’s what I have to say about that,” and other people listening. Towards the end it gets into fandoms I know, fandoms I’m in or have been in, and that’s when I started crying, because - this is going to sound so ridiculous, but I can’t help it, because that was when I realized that I was part of it, this old often-problematic beautiful revolutionary thing. And then, the last few minutes, it gives us characters who tell stories in the stories (Becky Rosen!), it saysyes, you, this is your story too. It’s two-thirty in the morning, I’m crying, and I may not be coherent but I have absolutely no regrets. Watch this.

fiercynn here! aww, I’ve never actually reblogged WDSTF before! Doing it now because Scribe and I finally managed to get the thing up on AO3, so if anyone actually sees this, it’s available here.

Man, even after all these years, this vid is one of my favorite things I’ve ever made and been part of, and also such a wonderful, wonderful part of one of the most important relationships in my life, my 18 year-long (and counting!) friendship with Scribe. I adore her, and this vid, and all of fandom SO MUCH. <3
