the musician said, “The one thing that has bothered me is seeing people wrap politics up in this. I’m disappointed to see [it]. Like, it’s aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me, like I’m one of them.”

The rich men north of Richmond are the political grifters in the Republican AND Democrat parties.

He's got it exactly correct.

From the beginning I knew he, Oliver, was talking about ALL the politicians irregardless of party.

I never took it as he was talking about Biden. It is all of government

Hes’ exactly right. Everyone in that debate and in the audience with the possible exception of Vivek were a subset of the rich men north of Richmond.

“That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden”
Nothing? It’s about politicians on the stage but not Joe Biden? Has he not been paying attention to the news of the Bidens getting money from foreign governments?

I am very happy to see Oliver Anthony denounce the political use of his song by either party. Mr Anthony seems to be pretty apolitical as his music appears to aimed at all of The Rich Men North of Richmond. I for one, do not care how he votes, I simply want his music to keep on keeping on. He truly is a breath of fresh air.

But I’ve got to be clear that my message, like with any of my songs, it references the inefficiencies of the government because of the politicians within it that are engulfed in bribes and extortion.”

That’s a pretty conservative viewpoint there, buddy.

It’s got some good sentiments behind it, but I don’t get the hype. 30 years ago, Travis Tritt covered a lot of the same ground in “Lord Have Mercy on the Working Man,” which was an actual song with a melody, etc.

..... So .... He's upset that some people could identify with his musical message?

I’m guessing he’s one of those diehard democrat rednecks. Sounds like he’s very anti-conservative.

Sorry, dude, if you write a song about politicians, you can be pretty darn sure it will be seen as a political statement, and politicians will try to use it to their own advantage regardless of your intentions when you wrote the song. If it means twisting your meaning into what they want it to be, you have to expect that.

Wimp.

I never heard of you, Oliver, but I sense that YOU are not made of the same stuff as a Leader, Hero, Strong person.
People like Trump.

Soooo, never heard your song...never miss it.

I think this guy has a screw loose. A plain ordinary untalented person who is dining off a short lucky break of fame. Greta Thunberg.

His crap is political. It’s nothing BUT political. And now he says it isn’t? I guess he doesn’t want to wind up having HIS mug shot plastered everywhere.

At the of the day it was a heartfelt song with a message that hits home and should hit home with every freeper. It’s an excellent song and is the part of playlist. If ya don’t like because it doesn’t pass some bizarre purity test for some then screw ya. I like it

It’s understandable that he doesn’t like being taken up by politicians and talking heads and turned into a symbol, but if he’s not disgusted by Biden, there is something wrong with him.
