I haven't listened to this song but I saw he went on TV and said we should all come together across our political divide or something and get along. So "one side" will continue to go along with that and "the other side" will continue to trample them while they do nothing. Not my kinda music.

I agree sadly that result is not reality. The divisivness in the country is too great at the moment. But I appreciate that he he is truly down to earth. He was offered 8 million to sign a music contract. But he rejected stating that he wanted to truly be free to express himself as he sees fit. Not be controlled by a corporate entity.

Being free to express yourself in music or otherwise isn't a reality anymore. This guy got a 10 year prison sentence for parody rap songs. Oliver is just being propped up for political purposes; they even trotted out the song as a debate point for yesterdays silly RNC debate. Bread and Circuses.

This Oliver Anthony is the best talent I have heard in ages. His message is down to earth, heartfelt and no nonsense.
Does he drive a Ranger or something...?

His music is alright but it has absolutely nothing on Tyler Childers, Zach Bryan, or Sturgill Simpson.
He's famous right now because tik tok lost its mind when he said fat people don't deserve government aid. Probably won't last too long once since the internet has a short attention span and blaming shit on welfare queens isn't exactly a fresh take. Hope he enjoys the ride though.

Listen to You Can Have the Crown by Sturgill Simpson for some GOOD country music.

Trashing a song and it's inspiration without even listening to it.

The person, a Neo-Nazi, that was jailed replaced rap lyrics with Neo-Nazi rhetoric in Austria.......

(insert HEAVY sarcasm) Oliver's song is just slightly different.....

I like the messages of both of the songs that he wrote and sang.

I don't view MSM / TV / websites so I have no idea what is going on in that realm.... and simply don't care. The best that I can do is to ignore the Bast@rds and live my life.

My grandma used to say "don't go borrowin' trouble till it comes knockin' at your door." I didn't get it early on, but I live by that rule now.

Man you guys really eat this up.
Nope, I really don’t. I just posted the video because it was in my YouTube queue and I knew there was a thread here. As I said, interpret as you wish. Musically, the guy is not my cup of tea and that’s the only opinion I have. I could care less about his politics or anyone elses.
