Anyone dealing with frustration, complexity, and uncertainty today?
So speaking as a huge Billy Joel fan who literally bought tickets last night for the Billy Joel-Stevie Nicks concert this October in Baltimore, I had no idea that was the origin of this song!

This gives me some perspective. Thought this audience might appreciate it...
We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel https://genius.com/Billy-joel-we-didnt-start-the-fire-lyrics
"This monster hit of a song was created in 1989, when Joel turned 40. The idea spawned from a conversation he had with a friend of Sean Lennon. The friend just turned 21 and was complaining about how crazy it was to be living in his era, therefore undermining any other time before his. This encouraged Joel to write a song that would prove that any time is filled with extremes."
My takeaway - Every time has uncertainty. This is where opportunity arises.
