Oliver Anthony: Attention From The GOP Is Funny, Ironic, a Bit Difficult for Him

Oliver Anthony thinks it’s funny that the conservatives chose to play his song, “Rich Men North of Richmond” at the first GOP debate.

He said in his “It’s a Pleasure to Meet You — Part 2” video on YouTube, “Cause it’s like, I wrote that song about those people, you know?  So, for them to have to sit there and listen to that, that cracks me up.”

He adds, “that song was written about those people up on stage…  and not just them…”  Anthony is a bit emotional, as he explains his current dilemma.

He also made it clear that the track has “nothing to do with Joe Biden,” referencing Florida Governor Ron Desantis’ comment that the song resonated with people because it was an attack on the President.
