A western-style number about a too-big-to-fail banker. A creative joint venture of Merle Hazard & Marcy Shaffer. More songs at Merle's site (http://merlehazard.com) and Marcy's (http://versusplus.com and http://www.youtube.com/user/versusplus).

Don't miss former IMF chief economist Simon Johnson discussing this song with Paul Solman, economics correspondent for the PBS NewsHour, in a related YouTube video titled "The Ballad of Diamond Jim: Annotated," at http://youtu.be/VVU800VjJXw.

Song by Merle Hazard, Marcy Shaffer (http://www.youtube.com/user/versusplus) and Curtis Threadneedle (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Curtis-...).
