A friend encouraged me to wait and not judge the singer or the song "Rich Men North of Richmond." I'm glad I did.
It's all about the human spirit. I couldn't agree with him more.
Update 8-26-23: Laying in bed early this morning a song ran through my head:
"...'cuz I'm a self-servin', stock tradin' member of Congress..."
Update 8-27-23: Oliver added via tweet:
“I. Don’t. Support. Either. Side. Politically. Not the left, not the right. I'm about supporting people and restoring local communities. Now, go breath some fresh air and relax. Please? :) I’m not worth obsessing over, I promise. Go spend time with your loved ones.”
Update 8-28-23: Blue Team Senator Chris Murphy scolded his party for its negative reaction to Chris/Oliver and his smash hit song. It behooves one to know something before saying something.
Update 9-12-23: Chris/Oliver cancelled a concert in Tennessee over ticket prices.
Chris/Oliver told fans on social media not to buy tickets to his scheduled concert on Sept. 27 because they were $90 and $200 for a meet and greet. "That's not acceptable." "These are supposed to be affordable shows."
Update 9-22-23: Chris/Oliver signed with a Nashville based agent.
Update 3-26-24: Oliver Anthony will play in at Cook's Garage in Lubbock on April 6th.
