Seat68 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) As @StefanAVFC said on the US Politics thread, this is quite big in right wing circles, and also in country music circles. I think its been co-opted into the rights sights, but on the whole aside from a few lines its pretty much down the middle and more about politics. Saving country music, a right wing website that pretends it isn't did a fairly good piece on this song and quite rightly implores him to stay away from his current champion, Jon Rich. As for the song, it's not really my flavour of country music, its more @leemond2008's musically. Aside from Sturgill I don't go too much for that raspy voice and a guitar. Years ago I tried with Zach Bryan and tried again when he released his debut and couldn't do it. This though, it's OK, nothing more, and personally its not the big right wing gotcha those commentators think it is. Edit. Don't watch it on Youtube, immediately after my algorithm was ****. GB News, cops dealing with antifa and Ben Shapiro. Immediately so that screwed me for a while. Edited August 15, 2023 by Seat68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went big on Twitter out of nowhere, the guy joined this month, already has 400k followers. It feels very inorganic.

Screams astroturfing to me but maybe I’m a weirdo conspiracy theory leftie also I don’t agree it’s middle of the road.

He talks about Epstein and the welfare state There seems to be that thing where if the right jump on something, they ride it till it dies, and this I think will be one of them and its up to him if he aligns with that whole right wing element or he produces music more like his other material. Its difficult, if you are afforded success that the right like, do you persist or go back to what you had before. With regards the lyrical content, there are without question right wing talking points, without question. There are some talking points that if you have had enough of politicians the words hit right for you. I stress though, its not my thing. Its not the sort of country music I listen to, I like more polish. Lyrically Rich Men North of Richmond has a few lines that punch down, and the target in this is wrong.

These are obviously euphemisms for cut your ears off before you listen I am now a broken man Non-reggae artists releasing reggae albums is always suspect, when the genre is Dancehall, a form of reggae I really am not fond of.... When its an action movie actor thinking he's a musician and he can afford to buy in one of the biggest female dancehall stars of her generation. Jesus wept, he's (and she) are singing about punani and kitty FFS How does Dancehall fit in with his "spirituality" and Buddhism? Ah f*** that is possibly the worst thing I've heard this week and I've heard Beatles songs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah f*** that is possibly the worst thing I've heard this week and I've heard Beatles songs I @Marka Ragnos took my 'Truly remarkable' and put a positive spin on it. In truth I meant. It's truly remarkable. Remarkable in the sense that someone had to sit and record that while that complete gimp of a man sang in a faux reggae style about wanting someone's vagina. It's so bad I just had to share it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted August 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Right up my alley. I love crazy lovers. Isn't it weird how the imagery and tone of everything almost just seems NORMAL by today's standards. Here, in their era, they're "insane." Someone uses bits from "David and Lisa" (1962) with a classic Margo Guryan song for a setting. Perfect ... almost better than the film itself.
