You load 16 tons, and what do you get
It’s just ok. Nothing more. Why is it so groundbreaking?
Music is very subjective and I can understand the appeal of this tune to many people: one guy (Anthony’s personal story is inspiring), a guitar and a mic, some animals around him, lyrics bemoaning politicians, and all the right facial contortions and faux strained expressions MTV nation has come to expect from its bread and circuses.
It’s pushing all the right buttons, and for 80MM+ disenfranchised Americans, I can see them being drawn to this song.
But if this song was full of leftist lyrics, everybody would say it sucks. Again, I have nothing against Anthony. I empathize with the lyrics and, of course, love the message. I simply wish it was “better.”
Elevating the average or mundane to some lofty, unjustified height is what the commies did with Socialist Realism. The only thing missing here is the sanctioning of the state.
there is a union song in response...basically quit your complaining and join the union.
It's a song for the current times, but will have fleeting appeal as time and events move on.
It's certainly not going to have the legs of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A."

Did you just wake up from a really long nap?
Hank Williams Jr. did something similar in 1979, but there was no internet to make it a sensation back then.

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.”
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.
“Put yourself in the shoes of million aged 21-35, trying to buy a house today, trying to get ahead?”
We used a VA/GI loan for our first home loan and 4 other loans, including our current home.
How many times can a VA/GI loan be used?
The Bottom Line: No Limits On VA Loan Use, But Understand Your Entitlement. The most important takeaway is that, as long as you’re eligible and you’re able to qualify with a lender, there’s no limit to how many times you can take out a VA loan in your lifetime.
This song has gone viral hugely... seems like some good news in the world today.
People are getting fed up world wide.
Ping to a few regulars.
I remember some of you guys were pooh poohing the idea that there was an "elite" in the northeastern part of this country. I long ago noticed that I wasn't the only one who noticed this.
This song speaks to that "elite" who have been controlling our nation since at least the civil war.
Do you have an commentary on this?
