If you deleted all of Klark's posts where he calls people centrists or progs he'd have like 45 posts on TD.

According to him he never demanded anywhere close to that figure and the venue is lying. He is now playing a $25 show down the road.

Truth is Oliver Anthony loves people like me and shel, people who don’t tribe up and support one side at all costs, the people Klark and this board whine at being “in the middle”

He HATES the Klarks of the world that are Team R and will follow them off a cliff regardless

Has to sting for all those on the PT when ol Oliver told them to frick off too after the GOP meeting

I picture this him as this kid. He never has anything substantive to say, only dorky attempts at insults.

Never fails to make me chuckle. On here, a “centrist” is allegedly just another name for a lib. If I turn around and go to Twitter, a “centrist” is allegedly just another name for a conservative.

Same sheep, different shepherd.

He says, in his video, that it was other people who booked and set everything up with this concert. I'm guessing he has an agent or manager handling everything because he's in way over his head(as alluded to with your last sentence). And I'm guessing that person is trying to take advantage of the success.




Yeah I saw a post where he said that he hired a friend to do his booking. Said friend is a plumber and is learning as he goes. Dude should have taken the record deal because he seems lost on the business side of things.

The guy has for sure lost a lot of money he could have made. Sounds like he's ok with that.


No doubt he’s lost a lot of money, and that’s fine if he’s ok with that. The problem he’s going to run into if he hasn’t already is that everyone else in the business isn’t ok with losing money. He’s going to quickly find himself at odds with a whole host of individuals and entities. The message he’s essentially sending to venues, promoters and the like is that there is no money to be made with him. once they realize that, the opportunities are gonna dry up… if he’s smart and wants to remain idealistic and help the common man, his best bet is to get comfortable with the idea of making money and then use his platform and financial power to help those he sings about being in need.

Probably would have ended even worse for him then...

tbh Anthony being a closet communist would not really be surprising at all.

I thought he said that he let other people handle it?

40 bucks for a 2 minute song is already a damn crazy price.

I read a Bob Dylan quote from decades ago, a reporter asked him why his songs had become less edgy, and protest like, his reply was "it's kind of hard to be a disgruntled millionaire"

This guy is an idiot not sure why anyone gives him attention.


He wrote a song that when it went viral, resonated with millions of Americans. It was not racist or anything. Some of the early interviews of Anthony he admits that he's just a guy trying to make it along with everyone else. He even said that he has abused alcohol, and tobacco in the past, maybe even drugs. He admitted that he was not a "good" person. He wrote a song that a lot of people liked and connected with. Some people now expect him to be something that he is not and are bashing him for it. They are the stupid ones.

Nah. He’s just an idealist who was thrust into fame and the spotlight and is trying hard not to sound like a hypocrite. Fame came to him in the form of a song about the plight of the common man. Now he’s face to face with ridiculous wealth. He’d probably be more comfortable making money if he’d have gotten famous singing about a different subject matter. He’s obviously struggling for answers in that regard.

If you turned his song into an OT post I would bet 80% of the replies would be saying "you voted for this" and you'd get called a whiny pussy. Klark would you declare your post "centrist" and Roger would tell you how things were so much worse back in his day when he had to build his own house from scratch in between work, school and substance abuse.

Doesn’t seem to be trying too hard with anything. Everything I’ve seen seems very honest and sincere. Maybe y’all are taking it all way too seriously?
