Bailout!

Listening to the Hudson River Sampler last Saturday we were treated to the original version of Tom Paxton's “I'm Changing My Name to Chrysler” – his take on the 1979 bailout of that company. This is one of Paxton's “short shelf life” songs that manages to resonate today. Nonetheless, Paxton's updated the tune to “Changing My Name to Fannie Mae.” Give a listen while your watching the overpaid execs of the Big Three roll out the business plans they should have brought in the first place.

Rumor has it they've car pooled to DC – in a Prius.
