                   For 30 years,  in "We Didn't Start the Fire"  I assumed  Billy Joel said,  "Trouble in the SEWERS"  and that some grand historic event happened in the sewers somewhere that I just never heard about. Some vague prole revolution or an alligator infestation.  Ninja Turtles.  You know,  something awesome. Two days ago  I learned  what he really sang was  "Trouble in the SUEZ."  Very disappointing.
