Rich Men North Of Richmond Singer CALLS OUT Fox News | The Left Wing 18.1
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
Singer Oliver Anthony posted a defiant and at times emotional video on Friday, rejecting Republicans and conservative media who've tried to "act like we're buddies" and criticizing the left for mischaracterizing his message. In the 10-and-a-half-minute video filmed in his truck, Anthony at various points choked up about the state of the country, laughed at his song "Rich Men North of Richmond" being part of Wednesday's Republican primary debate ("I wrote that song about those people!") and said he intended to keep producing authentic music that moved others. A lament for the working class he characterizes as kicked around for too long, Anthony sings in "Rich Men" about working "overtime hours for bulls--t pay," high taxation, substance abuse, the suicide epidemic and other societal ills.
