Oliver Anthony’s political song “Rich Men North of Richmond” is winning over an audience, even as many media outlets condemn its message.<\/p>\n
The song complains about the injustices perpetrated on the rural working class. Its songwriter, Oliver Anthony, is a high school dropout who lives in a trailer and reportedly has shunned big money offers from the mainstream.<\/p>\n
His song has touched a nerve with its lament, “It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to \/ For people like me and people like you \/ Wish I could just wake up and it not be true \/ But it is, oh, it is. <\/p>\n
Breaking News<\/span><\/p>\n Breaking News<\/span><\/p>\n The Red-bearded Anthony’s song has been viewed more than 21 million times on YouTube as of Friday afternoon. It’s also topping many of the streaming and downloading sites. <\/p>\n The song is the second conservative anthem to dominate the charts, arriving in the wake of Jason Aldean’s equally controversial “Try That In A Small Town.” The Aldean song came out in the spring, but drew massive attention weeks later when its video exploded. That video was eventually pulled from CMT. <\/p>\n The Anthony song’s sentiments – particularly its attack on welfare recipients and aid to minors in foreign countries, which many have taken as a reference to the equally controversial child-trafficking film, Sound of Freedom — <\/em>have not been received well by many in the U.S. mainstream media. The BBC termed it “The hit song that has divided the US.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nApple Buying Or Partnering With ESPN Is A "No-Brainer" To One Wall Street Analyst, And "Much More Attractive" Than Full Disney Acquisition<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n
