That was nothing less than interesting and if anything a peek into the way corporate America is willing to rewrite poetry from our culture (one) and for their purposes. They do look like quite the bankers and thakfully they have a day job they can rely on.
Didn't the Church long ago reinterprut many of the old pub drinking songs into some of the most beautiful hymns? But I guess that's quite the opposite.
Wow, talk about a reimagining....

I agree. They do look like a pair of bankers.

That is a great video. I bought BAC at $48 only six months ago and now it is $54. IGreat video. I am going to pass it around to my other friends who also own BAC!
