...and the people like them.

quote:

Oliver Anthony, the singer and songwriter of the viral “Rich Men North Of Richmond” was amused and aggravated by Fox News’s use of his song during the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday night.

quote:

I’m disappointed to see, like it’s aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I’m one of them.

quote:

The other thing that I find aggravating is, well, you know it was funny seeing my song, it was funny seeing it at the presidential debate cause it’s like I wrote that song about those people,” he continued. “So for them to have to sit there and listen to that, that cracks me up.”

“That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden, it’s a lot bigger than Joe Biden. That song is written about the people on that stage — and a lot more too, not just them — but definitely them,” explained Anthony. “I do hate to see that song being weaponized, like I see the right trying to characterize me as one of their own and I see the left trying to discredit me, I guess in retaliation.”

It is painfully obvious what he is by now.

Well which does he prefer. The right supporting him or the left outright tearing his @ss apart.


I guess he's another one that is going to bend the knee.

We all knew it meant all politicians but to come out with that limp dk response is mind boggling.

I interpret what he said to mean that he is talking about all politicians, regardless of party.

When I first heard that song, the one politician that came to mind, that he was referring to, was Lindsey Graham.

As do I. But I think he's especially annoyed with conservatives for trying to co-opt him.

Pretty obvious he hates all those MFs regardless of party. I can see the humor he finds in the elite class of the GOP taking advantage of his song for political gain. In part, that is exactly what he is railing against.

If he has to explain the intent of a song, maybe he doesn’t quite know what the fuk he’s talking about

Most people who make music are POS Zionist cucks. It’s why I refuse to listen to almost any type of music.

Why is this big news to you? We all knew he was talking about the DC establishment.

Did you think he was only talking about Democrats?

Why the delay to explain the target of the song? I guess the dem check had to clear...
