The song currently ranks No. 1 on the iTunes chart, No. 1 on the Apple Music daily streams chart and No. 3 on the U.S. Spotify daily streams chart. No, it's not about pimpin ho's or cappin cops. Imagine that.
Never been a big fan of Country Music, but this guy has me rethinking that.
Extra points for having three German Shepherd Dogs.

I think MAGA finally found a song they can use without getting yelled at. Sounds like a dying dog.

Here's a song that is a little bit country and folk and is much better, Ray LaMontagne "Beg, Steal, or Borrow: https://youtu.be/O8_fGCCitEc
Not a bad song, but why is a fat guy complaining about other fat people?
I never understood why fat people who are marginally less fat than other people talk shit about them. This guy needs to get over himself.

I discovered why Bryce likes this guy. It also sounds like he's been working for the Trump Organization or some dick Republican by the way he was treated...
Ever since video of Oliver Anthony belting out his latest song went viral, Republican politicians have hailed it as a cry of protest from the raw heart of blue-collar, right-wing America. In their telling, the song captures the sufferings and indignities inflicted on the working class by the elites described in its title, “Rich Men North of Richmond.”
Anthony’s lyrics surely speak to millions of struggling Americans: “I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day / overtime hours for bulls--- pay,” he sings. But you know who else will love this song? The “rich men north of Richmond,” that’s who.
With Republicans such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia hailing this song as “the anthem of the forgotten Americans,” wealthy elites north and south of Richmond will be just fine with that. The song seems to lambaste these elites for inequality and working-class suffering, but it actually channels much of the blame in a very different direction. That’s a key reason Republicans like it so much.
Anthony sings that working overtime for “bull--- pay” led him to “waste my life” and “drown my troubles away.” He has said this is a reference to his work in a North Carolina factory; struggling with soul-crushing work for stagnant wages and self-medicating in response is a real situation for many Americans.

He's not complaining about people because they're fat. He's complaining about those non-working sponges on government welfare, most of whom are fat and lazy.

The scary thing is you theoretically could place the lyrics in the Reconstructionist south after the "north took slaves away".

Hmm. Sounds like someone made choices in life. They chose to work in a factory. They chose to get into drugs and alcohol. And now it's someone else's fault. Why doesn't he just pull himself up by his bootstraps? Instead of grunting and groaning on YouTube? That is time that could be spent looking for a better job.
I can't imagine going through life thinking all my choices in life are a reflection of THE ELITES! And THOSE PEOPLE! Jesus Christ, get a life.
Sounds like a dying dog.
