‘That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden,’ the singer says, criticizing conservatives who champion the song and liberals who slam it.
Oliver Anthony performs at Eagle Creek Golf Club and Grill in Moyock, N.C., on Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023. Anthony, a Farmville, Va., native, is best known for his song"Rich Men North of Richmond," which went viral, making him an overnight country sensation.
“It was funny seeing it in the presidential debate, because it’s like, I wrote that song about those people,” he said. “That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden. You know, it’s a lot bigger than Joe Biden. That song is written about the people on that stage and a lot more, not just them, but definitely them.”
The Virginia songwriter got choked up as the 10-minute address went on, and he said he wanted to touch on comments he’s heard from the left as well.
