Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North of Richmond.
From the poetry of people and place to that of protest and this one has comments on it from all over the world, so it's not just north of Richmond. Gone viral as they say! Can't say I'd heard it until a mention on RTE about a week ago but then western civilization 'if you could call it civilization' is in a crisis these days. Not too many people sing protest songs anymore or perhaps it's just that they don't get air-time anymore so no Dylans or Guthries or Ewan McColls and of course not forgetting our own Christy. But this guy has touched on a nerve and it has slipped through the cracks. I believe he turned down an eight million dollar record deal. Loaded by 'Walker' and with thanks. Go to Youtube for the many many comments.
