When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hours. Oliver resides in Farmville, VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a small farm to raise livestock. We have a whole mess of songs set to release of Oliver for your viewing and listening pleasure, he is truly special and notes his biggest influence as Hank Williams Jr. Oliver wants to give hope to the working class and your average hard working young man who may have lost hope in the grind of trying to get by.

Jeffrey Tucker has a great perspective on the sudden rise of Anthony in his latest newsletter:

Yes, like millions of others, I’ve been listening to Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” on repeat for days. I can’t seem to get enough of it. It’s a passionate cry from average people against exploitative elites, with lyrics that reach so deeply into the heart and soul that they elicit tears.

The whole presentation is perfect: melody, lyrics, singer, setting, and sensibility. It’s pure magic and hits the sweet spot of our times.

I’m also feeling a great joy from seeing the song rocket from nowhere to the No. 1 most downloaded song in the English-speaking world, including the UK and Australia. It’s the cry of the masses against what has been done to us.

It touches on all of the themes: inflation, welfare, substance abuse, suicide, totalitarian ambitions, the lack of representation, and even the sensitive subject of the blackmail of politicians by Jeffrey Epstein’s horrible business. For this latter point, the song is being denounced as QAnon, whatever that means.

Just as preposterous is the claim that this is about “right-wing influencers” manipulating working-class populations. That isn’t it at all. Right-wing influencers don’t have the power to make a song go from nothing to No. 1, much less push four other songs by the same artist into the top 10. Mr. Anthony is suddenly higher than Taylor Swift on the charts, and the reason is simple: He’s telling the truth and thus earning trust.

This song has rocked the world only a week after the song/video “Try That in a Small Town” by Jason Aldean traveled a similar trajectory, and was therefore widely denounced by the legacy media. They used all the usual smears: racist, fascist, etc. This is what they call people who simply want their lives back.

And this happened only a few weeks after the film “Sound of Freedom” pushed its way out of the censorious claws of Disney to become one of the top-earning films in the United States. Even my thoroughly “woke” local theater was showing it nonstop simply because it needed the money.

And this happened after Bud Light was dethroned as the No. 1 beer and threatened the profitability of the biggest brewer in the world, which is now being forced to sell off eight of its most popular brands just to get revenue in the door.

They said none of this would work. It did work. Now, the elites are paying attention. Indeed, they’re terrified. Rightly so.

Meanwhile, some of the biggest companies and financial advisors are dropping ESG [environmental, social, and governance] and DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] from their priorities. This is in response to an investor revolt. So here, we have consumers, investors, stockholders, and probably voters, too, ready to exercise whatever power we have left to right what has been made wrong, to better the world and not allow any more of our precious freedoms to slip away.

The most salient aspect of Mr. Anthony’s song is that it names the enemy: the rich men in Washington. Anyone who has visited in recent years encounters a scene straight from “The Hunger Games.” There’s no suffering in District One, but only decadence and disregard for everyone else. The last time I went there, I visited a neighborhood on Capitol Hill where I once lived and barely recognized it. Then I realized why. The buildings on Massachusetts Avenue that used to be colonial brick all had massive new marble facades in the Greek and Roman style. They built all of these while the rest of the country was falling apart.

It really is pretty simple. The riches of the ruling class are coming at the expense of the working classes, the middle class, and the poor. Reality is more awful than the dystopias of fiction. It’s a combination of “The Hunger Games,” “Brave New World,” and “1984.” And they dare to prance around on TV and get profiles in articles as if they’re heroes. These are the same people who want to segregate our cities by vaccine status and involuntarily jab multitudes of people.
