Song of the Century "I've been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours, for bullshit pay"
Senator Tim Scott seems to be spending a lot of time north of Richmond; he’s beginning to sound like the “Rich Men North of Richmond.”
Name on Senator or Congressman who is immune from this? None are immune. They are all guilty
It is a very good song.
The man who sings it has turned down huge money because he is struggling with his life.
He has emotional issue and is not interested in tours and the sudden interest in him related to politics. He is not political.
If you search a bit you will find his story.
He is a very good guy.
His story is worth knowing.
Exactly true.
I got choked up listening to his son. Not so much the words but the emotion. He is struggling and this is heart felt.
“It’s just ok. Nothing more. Why is it so groundbreaking?”
The song comes from an individual who, despite not completing high school, works tirelessly six days a week in a factory for $14.50 an hour. Its resonance is most deeply felt among those who have family or friends in similar professions. Perhaps those in higher-paying positions north of Richmond find it challenging to relate. The artist calls a camper with a tarp-covered roof his home. I’m familiar with many, including relatives, who live in such conditions. Notably, they aren’t seeking handouts and tend to vote Republican, which might be different from some perspectives north of Richmond.
“Name on Senator or Congressman who is immune from this? None are immune. They are all guilty”
Spot on, they are all guilty.
It is extraordinary.I'm guessing you will be needing to come out from under your rock and take a look.The raw emotion and pain
The shared life experience across the world
Naming both the problems and cause.It crosses cultural barriers and impacting countries around the world.

#1 itunes charts across the world
He now has the top 3 songs on iTunes charts and 10 songs in the top 25.
He pushed Taylor Swift out of the top.
"Politics is downstream of culture." - Andrew Breitbart.
” Why is it so groundbreaking?”
Simple answer is, it pushes the right buttons at the right time. Add another song from the early 1980s and you have a tandem that pushes the right buttons at the right time.
A Countryboy Can Survive - Hank Williams Jr
Rich Men North of Richmand - Oliver Anthony
In my opinion, these two songs should be played back to back.
Exactly.
Just a note, Billy Braggs who wrote to join the union to deface Anthony’s song is worth 5-7 million dollars, hardly someone who can relate to the millions Anthony writes about. Billy is completely out of touch with reality.
“Put yourself in the shoes of million aged 21-35, trying to buy a house today, trying to get ahead?”

it’s a damn shame... what the world’s coming to...
His free concert at Eagle Creek Golf Club this weekend attracted 12,000 people. They had to turn people away for there was no more room. People sat in the parking lot in chairs just to listen. This would not have happened without cell phones. the first recording of the song that got posted on FB, and was then recorded by a professional group in his backyard 2 weeks later and that was 3 weeks ago. Anthony wants to keep doing free concerts.
This song has gone viral hugely... seems like some good news in the world today.
People are getting fed up world wide.
With the riots and uprisings going on in places all over the world it’s just a matter of time before all world leaders might be deposed. I think it’s reached a boiling point. The war in Ukraine could have been solved politically, however its now a big money win for the MIC, and the Ukrainians have now lost 200k soldiers, Russia has lost a similar amount. DC is using this for money laundering for their campaign funds, and still they have hid all the names in Epstein’s book as to all the “clients” for the children. We directly controlled Ukraine politics, Joe did that and he should have registered as a foreign agent and didn’t. Meanwhile we have millions of homeless here in the US, low paying jobs, and high costs and inflation. Yeah, I think it’s on the verge of “break bad” for sure. And DC can only blame themselves
