American songwriting, whether it is folk, rock, or country, has a long history of featuring lyrics and music about the things that inspire the writers.
In 1970, after one singer had been performing onstage for only a few months, Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert came across him quite by accident.And the experience floored him.
And 50 years ago, a still somewhat unknown Bruce Springsteen’s lyrics and music were heralded as “representing an enigma” through his “spew of his hard edge lyrics, sick with alienation and multi faceted imagery” by Philadelphia Daily News reporter Jonathan Takiff after he saw him perform at the Main Point in his home state of New Jersey.
That's the point of Anthony's song: The cultural curators who hold all of the power living in those six richest ZIP codes that surround Washington, D.C., actually know no one like you, nor do they understand the lives you lead. Strother said he personally might not agree with all of Anthony’s lyrics, but “What I do know is that he is speaking for a lot of people.”
