Saw the original full-length vid back in '90. If you look carefully, as the rich guy is riding home, he reads a headline about a financial firm taking a nosedive. After the video ends, there's text saying, "The looting of the savings and loan industry will cost the American people $500 billion over the next fifty years." I remember that scandal well, as millions of people had all their savings wiped out. The worst offenders were in Orange county and LA, hence McGuinn's opening line, "LA's asleep." A number of high rollers went to prison, and at the end of the video, to underscore that point, two detectives arrest the businessman.
