Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North of Richmond
Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North of Richmond
This is blowing up on YouTube right now. Probably because of how true it is.
What’s unfortunate is that he’s a great songwriter and has a fantastic voice. Then he goes and uses those gifts to write a song signaling to the most wretched among us.
Also, this is blowing up because far-right agitators like Matt Walsh and co. timed a coordinated promotion. The only part that’s “true” is that everything sucks. The real reasons aren’t in the song.
Oh yay, the guy being astroturfed and loved by mask off fascists like Matt Walsh.
This shit is garbage
This astro turfed guy again? Yikes
This song hits on so many levels.
Only if you sincerely think that punching down at overweight Americans eating Debbie Cakes is an accurate criticism of anything worthwhile.
Try listening to Sturgil Simpson Turtles all the Way Down instead. Or Holy Shit by Father John Misty.
Or if you just want to listen to newer bluegrass and country/western that isn't astroturfed by wealthy capitalists or white nationalist influencers, you can check out Tyler Childers - the entire album Ballad of Janita and the Dood is a masterpiece. Michael Davies is also an incredible musician and vocalist that "Oliver Anthony" could never be.
Just looking at this guy’s shitty beard upsets me.
I thought lemmy would be free of scumbags like him. Guess not. These phony working class pricks are the worst
