    I had the privilege of seeing this man perform live last night in Glasgow, Scotland. He is an incredibly normal guy, loves his fans, loves his life, and exudes morality. If he's performing near you, PLEASE buy tickets, I've been to some massive gigs, but this little 2000 capacity venue was by far the best. So much feeling amongst the crowd and coming from the stage.

    The line "Young men are putting themselves 6 feet in the ground because all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down" just hit so hard. A society that forgets about and doesn't care about their young men is in for a lot of trouble. Hollywood and everyone keeps telling these men that their toxic and women are brought up to hate men it's all heading down a path of destruction. Oliver touched on so many things, he just struck a cord because any sane person can see how bad things are getting. Plus I just love the title "Rich men north of Richmond" meaning Washington DC, it's just perfect! Love your reaction sir!

      Agreed. Masculine men are valuable, valued and appreciated. It’s heartbreaking to see statistics here in Australia, and world wide of young male suicides, losing to the spirit of overwhelming hopelessness. Elites don’t care if people die, in fact that’s exactly what they want. Let’s hold our men up to stay strong. Both masculinity and femininity can be toxic. Love each other. It’s that simple.

      I agree that the line hit incredibly hard, but I don't quite agree with your analysis of the problem. Young men are in trouble because they don't have a shot at a secure normal life. They need job opportunities where they can earn a decent living, enough to pay for groceries, rent, bills, healthcare, and yes even some spending money just to enjoy life. They need to not be worked to the bone, underpaid and undervalued. They ultra wealthy are bleeding young men dry to maximize their profits. Their greed knows no end.

    He’s from Appalachia America. The history of the Appalachian Mts is a big part of American history. When the big Irish immigration happened in the late 1700’s early 1800’s they didn’t find America to be the land of milk and honey as the east coast was mainly English or English decent people who treated them the same as in the British islands. Many moved west to the mountains to form their own communities and live free. They are still communities of people who love America but want to be left alone to live their lives. While many are poor or working class they still live self sufficient lives for the most part. In many ways the Appalachian people of America are some of the best of us. They never lost their drive to just say NO to tyranny, speak their minds and resist. My Irish ancestors came out west to Texas for the same reasons. Texas at the time was mostly populated by the Germans not the English and the Germans somehow didn’t get the memo of how the Irish were to be treated. We formed strong communities with the Germans.

      That part resonated with me, as well. Seems like the world is constantly growing more "modern" whether anyone likes it or not. And based on talking to a lot of people I can say more people are displeased with the results. But unfortunately, some embrace it.

    Welcome to the Great Awakening ! 🇺🇸Oliver Anthony🇺🇸, Appalachian soul brother hit this one out of the park and around the world ! I love the world wide response and speaking of world wide, our USWNT humiliated themselves on the world stage with their disrespect to our Nation . We are not woke and I found a lot of our Nation and the world were disgusted with the disrespect on the world stage from yhr American “woke brats” ! Oliver🇺🇸Anthony’s incredible ballad is awakening the masses !!!!

    man im almost 28 years old... i cant imagine being in my 40s trying to support my kids in this world... all of us hard working men/women get completely fucked day in and out by the ones with power... The words Oliver Anthony sung in this brings tears to my eyes... we need a change in this world.

    I am NOT country but I’ve recently been introduced to Upchurch so I’ve opened my mind a bit. This is amazing! Harsh but truth. Def the whole world. He’s put so much emotion in this song.

    As a Black American I don't listen to country music but this song and Jason Aldean should make us all realize we have a lot more in common than not. Let's get together and get rid of the folks trying to divide us. At the end of the day poor doesn't have a color. Trump 2024
