Oliver Anthony, nee Chris Baby … Keep Strummin’

Now that’s what I call music.

Wasn’t paying much attention to all the hullabaloo and fervor – or “sturm ‘n drang” per Tim Gunn — around this guy, saw a clip on Weasel News or some such then did the search on the Tubes of You …

“Rich Men North of Richmond,” indeed.

Dare I say Mr. Anthony is “woke”?  Heaven forfend.

His workingman’s anthem certainly seems to have a bit of a socialist vibe … wanting a living wage for honest work, fair taxation system, the recognition of shared suffering …
“Living in the new world / with an old soul” … why yes, Mr. Anthony, seems you have … struck a chord (heh)

And when offered the opportunity to join the ranks of those eponymous rich men north of Richmond (did someone just say “masters of mankind”?) he politely declined.

Well played, Mr. Anthony.  Well played. Pun intended, all around.

He paid the debt of his truth with the cash offered by the exploiters.  No flash in the pan, he. 
No 15 minutes of fame.

Rather, a lifetime of infamy.  He will be remembered.

There are no coincidences.  

GOD placed the suffering on this man the way that HE did to glorify HIS name.  {2 Corin. 12:9}
Evil does not rule the heart of humanity, only its hands. 

GOD is not only great … HE is propitious.

HE might not get there when you want HIM to but HE is always right on time. {Hebrews 11:6}
