For B

Also known by Oliver Anthony.
Let me preface this by saying that I have a decent understanding of where this man calls home.
He is from Farmville Va. about 30 miles from my family's properties.
My Sister, Brother, and Mom's husband live in the same county.
It's steep in rural Americana and the origins of my mother's bloodline.

Everyone has heard his hit single "Rich Men North of Richmond" by now and it's popularity has exploded on the country music genre.
Naturally, I was intrigued seeing VA local reaching such heights in the music industry.
On one YouTube video, he revealed that Oliver Anthony was his Grandfather, and his real name was Chris Lunsford.
This struck me as unusual, because I had done some research on a man named Bascom Lamar Lunsford, a man that championed the music of the region, and dedicated his life to preservation of the soul of old time mountain and country music.

Considering the geo, I immediately considered that Chris Lunsford would likely be a descendant of Bascom. I reached out to him but never received a reply. Bascom was instrumental in his passion and has many parallels with the story of John Carter from the Carter Family.

Here's a link to a documentary and wiki made with Boscum. He's quite a character.
David Hoffman made the doc and it is a very meaningful film about the musical roots of the area.

Here is his wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bascom_Lamar_Lunsford


I have no doubt that they share blood. Chris Lunsford's story is to me kind of remarkable.

The area has been depressed since the government started paying the farmers to not grow tobacco. This was good for the farm owners, but left the regular folks with little work and now the area is mostly NJ and other NE folk coming to retire for the reasonable price of living.
It's nice land and I may go there to die, and save the expense of transporting me once I contract chronic somnambulance.

.

The story goes that Chris was suffering from depression, and had reached his bottom of his usage of drugs and alcohol. At rock bottom, he gave his life to Christ and asked to be shown a better way. 30 days later he posted his song. Last night he debuted at the Grand Old Opry:
Before he preforms he reads from a bible.
First artist ever to debut Billboard Hot 100 @ #1
only artist living to have 13 in the top 50 on Billboard
Only Prince and MJ did this.. posthumously.
It's quite remarkable at the instant fame he has achieved.
Maybe there is a god, Maybe not. But his notoriety can't be denied, and I find it kind of wonderful.


His accompanist is super talented.
very clean playing up the neck.

I listened to him on Joe Rogan…He’s a pot grower and seems to be a decent person.

His song is shit, just like the Try It In A Small Town song…..When conservatives rally around and make something their anthem they have the power to make something hit number one on the charts pretty easy.

There’s literally 10 rappers living within 5 miles of me better than Forgiato Blow but because he sucks Trumps dick he has hit songs.

I see you suffer from TDS like some others here. Most of those posts are in the Political Arena.
Why sully the lounge?
I do enjoy watching the hate consume you to the point of insanity.
Dems: " I hate Donald Trump"
Also Dems: " Stop hate"

I'm not a Democrat.

....and it's not my fault I'm a good judge of character.


My point to posting in this thread is that songs NOW can hit number one and it has nothing to do with if its good music or not...fake conservatives have the power to do that when they rally around a song.

Dem or not. Still a TDS hypocrite.
You're also a presumptuous ignoramus.
His music isn't aimed at any party, but politicians in general. https://www.newsweek.com/oliver-anthony ... nd-1824002
He's from the country and writes his music in much the same way as many of the other country artists before it became a form of POP culture.
Modern country artists do more pandering to rural America, than actually singing about life experiences.
Much like Roscoe Holcomb, he delivers music about struggle and hardship. Mostly addiction, poverty, and hardship.
And be sincere, you posted here because you saw an opportunity to take a stab at people you've form prejudice against. If so, you would have commented about the music itself. You merely stated his song was shit, with only a conflation to people who support Trump.
That's classic TDS, and hardly being a good judge of character.

I hate lots of things so how does that make me a hypocrite..?

>>>>His music isn't aimed at any party, but politicians in general.

I didnt say it was and I know what he's about, I even said he seems like a decent guy from listening to a 3 hour interview he did.


>>>>And be sincere, you posted here because you saw an opportunity to take a stab at people you've form prejudice against.'

'Prejudice..?....I probably know more about the guy than you.

Now go eat your fudge rounds.....Stupid ass lyrics.

You ever read the lyrics to jail bait….?

Nothing on Jail Bait..?

Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait won't you set me free
Jailbait you look fine fine fine
I know I've got to have you in a matter of time
Well I don't care if you're just thirteen
You look too good to be true
I just know that you're probably clean
There's one lil' thing I got do to you“

How about some Kid Rock lyrics

“Young ladies, young ladies
I like 'em underage see
Some say that's statutory
But I say it's mandatory!”

Uhm. maybe we entertain this conversation in a different forum at this venue.

The lounge isn’t really the place for these politics…

Billy Idol —rocked the cradle of love,

Well, rock the cradle of love
I rocked the cradle of love
Yes, the cradle of love don't rock easily, it's true
Well now
It burned like a ball on fire
When the rebel took a little child bride
To tease yeah, so go easy, yeah, ow!

— perversions seem to be the prerequisite

Kip Winger — Seventeen

She's only seventeen (seventeen)
Girl, she gives me love, like I've never seen
She's only seventeen (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young but she's old enough for me (seventeen)
She's everything I need (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough, old enough for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

—-

Never mind the extremes of the entertainment and music industry like the depravity of Roman Polanski, or Gary Glitter, the debauchery of the political world pits princes vs paupers

Quite the story on the CNN site today talking about Johnny Gosch and the Larry King / Franklin Coverup / child trafficking political comprised blackmail shit from the 80’s. Back when the congressional pages were just high school kids getting — turned over — or bent — so to speak.

There’s a common underlying theme here and if you want to go down that rabbit hole please do it in the appropriate forums.

And whatever you do please do not share the tweet of the guy taking it in the ass on the table in the senate hearing room. No one needs to see that — again.

In conservative land that’s much worse than storming the capitol in an attempted insurrection.

Shame on me for pointing out lyrics of conservative heroes.
