    Oliver Anthony has several songs. Made the various news stations for his music. Was put on with big singers and groups. He walked away from the big money so people could afford to see him if they wanted . Mad respect for his music and morals! Love your reactions and your cousins.

    3:03 He absolutely was. It's crazy, homey pulls out the banjo, picking the strangs, his dog is napping right by his feet, dude sets up a camera and starts singing. Uploads it to UA-cam and within a few weeks he's on freaking Joe Rogan

    ahhh Oliver Anthony..real name Chris...
    This young man had a handful of phone recordings when a gentleman from a music station heard him at a country fair and offered to professionally record and play his music..this was that offer which changed Chris' life...Chris went from a small following of family & friends to millions in a month or so..this song was viewed 50+ million times in less than 6 months..he had a world tour in less than a year...can you say overnight sensation ?...
    Chris was going through difficult times..money, love, battling vices..and turned to the Lord..what happened after was this string of successes...he reads scripture before his concerts and performances to the crowd..often he's barefoot and may have his pups on stage as well...
    God bless Chris/Oliver Anthony...you can always find an update on his channel..how he's navigating the corrupt music industry and moving ahead with his decisions...

    From what I understand he found out that Ticketmaster was overcharging fans for tickets to his concert, which pissed him off. So he cancelled the concert which forced Ticketmaster to refund their money. Then he turned around and had the concert anyway, for Free!! Oliver Anthony (real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford) is the real deal!!! He cares about people and wants to educate them on how to not have to rely on the govt for basic needs such as food, teach different trades like fixing things, building things (carpentry), how to live off the land, grow their own food, survival skills etc. That man has my respect!! He's Badass!!

    Oliver Anthony, in a response to this song coming out was offered $8M record deal but he turned it down!
    The record companies end up with ALL distribution rights and control so if they really want to they could simply pay out $8M(pocket money for them) then turn around and sit on it without EVER releasing it at all .. and with the political landscape being as it's been this past years .. whatcha think is gunna happen? So instead it got out independently with mad love and help from "the People" not the damn record labels lol!
    Btw since then the man has EXPLODED in popularity!
    Right now from his YT earnings he's worth between 1.5-2 MILLION dollars INDEPENDENT of ANY record label!❤
    God Bless America! &
    God Bless Oliver Anthony!
    Great content Brotherman!

    Unfortunately studies have shown that the homeless are mostly addicted to drugs or mentally ill. I feel for the veterans we should have taken care of. I have a heart for the homeless since I was on the streets for two weeks, with no place to go. It was during a time when I was waiting for social security. We need to take care of each other. Even being considered poor, in the US I have a nice apartment, an older vehicle, and food to eat, and usually enough to give to one of my charities about 20 to 50 dollars a month. I don't consider myself poor, I look at the other nations around us and see how people struggle just for food and clean water. It ok for the government to give a helping hand, but not to hold on to your hand to keep you down. Which some of our systems are designed to do. Where I live, thank God there are homeless shelters, but I also give to developmental disability societies because my sister was mentally disabled. Thank God you are physically cable of working all those hours. I pray it sustains you. I hope you take a portion, no matter how small and help someone else. Hopefully with the new administration, the inflation will stop and it won't be so difficult to make ends meet. God bless.❤

    Just wrapped up a 60hr week of delivering & installing 75in-100in TVs where we were only scheduled for 48hrs of work. But since the princess in the C-suite doesn't have a clue about how long it takes to deliver & install we have far more orders scheduled than can actually fit. As such time windows get missed. Now I have a grown man leaving me vmails & texts, whining about us not delivering & installing his 100in TV because we missed delivery window by 1hr & his wife left the house & wasn't home when we showed up. Keep in mind, he's whining about a 100in TV being delivered & installed into a RAISED 3-story new build beach house that doesn't have a freight elevator, so it needs to be muscled up the back steps a mere 2weeks before Christmas so he can flaunt the TV during a Christmas party a week before Christmas. Ask me how much I care about his problems...
