    "Since I saw that clip of Oliver Anthony singing his song 'Rich Men North of Richmond', the ghost of Woody Guthrie has been whispering in my ear. "Help that guy out" Woody keeps telling me "Let him know there's a way to deal with those problems he's singing about". So today I sat down and wrote this response to Mr Anthony's song, for people like him and people like you."

    I decided to take a deeper dive into Oliver Anthony and look at him as a musician. My honest take: there is a cultural miscommunication going on and I think it needs to be addressed. Also I like the guy.

  6. @thedrizl it's amazing to witness.

    All of the promoters of #ChristopherAnthonyLunsford aka #OliverAnthony need to realize that this young man is a forced phenomenon.

    He's too damn young to have personally held wisdom for his popular song. That's obvious.

    Look deeper, look at who promotes him. Those are the gears & cogs of the machine.

    I'm glaring at #JoeRogan & all of the #MSM, especially how he was inserted into the #RepublicanDebate.

    Look at his response here. He's a #groomed bag o wind.

  7. @thedrizl it's a good breakdown of the #ChristorpherAnthonyLunsford aka #OliverAnthony grift.

    If this meme upsets you, perhaps you should dig a big deeper into forced concepts foisted upon us by the likes of #JoeRogan

    You may just be part of a controlled & curated bubble of a common ground corral, meant to give you your space to vent & let off the pressure for all the bullshit programming you're entertaining yourself to death with.

    I'm guilty of the above, course correction is needed.

  13. I highly recommend this Atlantic article. Interesting from top to bottom. I don't know if it is behind a paywall. If it is, please accept my apology and let me know how to do this differently in the future.

    This article focuses on a small handful of people who genuinely get the economic pain points of the rural working class and envision a path forward.

    Here's a quote:

    """"
    Murphy is a repeat provocateur. In July, he tweeted that “there are a lot of social conservatives who believe in populist economic policies, and it would be a good idea to have those people a part of a Democratic/left coalition and accept a bit more intra-movement friction on culture issues as a consequence.”
    """"

  15. Maybe they need to start vetting their "Lonesome" Rhodeses a little more carefully.

    “That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden, you know? It’s a lot bigger than Joe Biden. That song was written about the people on that stage and a lot more too. Not just them, but definitely them,”

    Billy Bragg: “There’s a tradition in popular music of artists writing ‘answer songs’ that reply to issues raised by the hits of the day, so this weekend I sat down to compose a response …
    I thought of how Johnny Paycheck was able to express the anger of the working man without blaming those worse off than him in Take This Job and Shove It. I recalled how Johnny Cash believed in flag, faith and family, yet wore black in solidarity with the poor…”

    Except that Malik said nothing of the kind. He did not write anything about Oliver Anthony’s song being full of shit. Rather the opposite, actually. He compared the song to authentic classics and railed against the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green, who claim to sympathize with the song’s message while doing nothing to remedy the ills it describes.
