Some Friday Levity

 Shocking news from Oliver Anthony a few weeks ago that I'd missed:

A reaction video and common sense

The reaction video for Oliver Anthony is good but I'm more impressed with this young lady's common sense.

Long form discussion

For a man who claims to be down the center, (Chris Lunsford) Oliver Anthony has talked with Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson but not Rachel Maddow or Andrea Mitchell.  That says something about where he thinks the political middle is.  Unfortunately where he seems to think the middle is, is where the middle used to be.  Nevertheless, this is not an attack on the man.  He is authentic, and he is talented and he is so far accurate in his lyrics. Here's a long form discussion between him and Jordan Peterson.

OUT. OF. TOUCH.

Democrats and the media have no clue how out of touch they are.  This is why Oliver Anthony's song connects with 90%+ of Americans (and for that matter people in a lot of other countries too).  Here are two examples of the cluelessness:

Rolling Stone Magazine hates you

Rolling Stone magazine blasted both the movie Sound of Freedom (which they actually claim is a QAnon film.  No really, they said that) and Oliver Anthony's song Rich Men North of Richmond as far-right (and worse).  I have watched a vast array of reactions, from a vast array of people.  They all feel it. The song is not far-right, it speaks to 90% of America, maybe more.  It's not far right, it's everyone.  Except the elite.

Rolling Stone mistakenly believe they are part of the elite. Laughable. They are at best part of the useful idiot class. They hate those who don't view them as elite, whom they believe is the far right.  No, it's 90% of America who resonate with the truth. They know politicians don't have their best interest at heart.  They know Rolling Stone doesn't either. WE know it.  You know it.  And Rolling Stone magazine hates you for it.

The dumpster fire of a magazine has exposed itself as being on the wrong side of history.  Good. 

A star is born

Wow! This captures what millions of people are feeling so perfectly. Oliver Anthony does folk/country in a grassroots, based, populist way that is brilliant musically, poetically and politically.
