I thought about this song a lot when I was younger. All these important people and events- some that disappeared into the sands of time- others that changed ...
The issue I’ve seen pointed out with this version, and I agree, is that Billy Joel set the events more or less in order and had more clever turns of phrase to break up the monotony. This feels, perhaps appropriately, like an algorithm found the best fit for the chosen events to scan properly. I kind of got mental whiplash listening to it.
