To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.  Thomas Paine.

This is great depression music. It’s strange to be in a depression but we’re not allowed to admit it

Oliver recently turned down an $8 million offer from the recording industry. 
This speaks highly of his integrity. He will not sell out.
As John Rich said: If Oliver signed on to a record label, they would never allow
Rich Men North of Richmond to be released.

All they can do now is to try their best to dismiss and silence him.
This is similar to the disrespectful attack on Toby Keith by a group of now has been.
female performers. I think they were called the chicksee dixes or something like that.
The out rage started over Toby's support of Donald Trump. Toby responded by saying
Oh well, at least I can write my own music.  :thumbsup:

Good song.
I agree with the "rich men" part.
I have a slight problem with his economics.
His complaint may have been true late 1800's early 1900's,
but today we have to compete with the entire world and
we have to beat them or they will beat us economically.
You can demand all the high wages you want and you will
just get replaced by a machine or a worker
from India, Bangladesh, or Vietnam.

FYI.

Oliver Anthony was his grandfather's name.  Oliver Anthony Music is his professional music business title.

His real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford.

Quote
My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony,
and “Oliver Anthony Music” is a dedication not only to him, but 1930’s Appalachia where
he was born and raised. Dirt floors, seven kids, hard times. At this point, I’ll gladly go by
Oliver because everyone knows me as such. But my friends and family still call me Chris.
You can decide for yourself, either is fine.

So, if you hear or read people calling him more than one name, you'll know why.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-- George Bernard Shaw
