The original was a smash hit in 1989, spitting out a rapid-fire mixture of historical references to the boomer era. It was a lengthy montage of all relevant things, good and bad. Everything from pop culture to political references were strewn throughout the verses and broken up with an explosive chorus. It’s been nearly 35 years since Billy Joel’s version. Fall Out Boy deemed it necessary to give the track an up-to-date resurrection in true millennial… Read more »
