“I Think I’m Ben Bernanke” by Sole

The video depicts Ben Bernanke in the near future as a homeless drunk living in a shanty, or possibly an Occupied space in the United States.

The song itself is about the history of America’s long decline, beginning with the exploitation of the natives, slavery and the post world war 2 american dominance over the globe. Once the world was sucked dry, the entire system caved in on itself. We have been living on borrowed time since day one, with nothing left to plunder all we can do now is make radical changes or suffer the consequences.

Not sure if I’m really feeling the mesh of music and video production on this one, but it’s still interesting stuff. Sole has already gotten over 12,000 hits in the past few weeks since he posted this song. What do you make of it?
