The Kingfish posted:It’s explicitly political and its politics are standard movement conservatism. But his performance is weighty and the lyrics are catchy. Feel free to disagree, but you are deluding yourself if you think the hype is entirely astroturfed. Again, I’m not arguing this is a masterpiece or anything better than “good.” Conservatives just aren’t used to seeing their politics reflected in good art, and its blowing their minds. This post finally tricked me into listening to that song and holy poo poo it's not good. I agree this probably isn't astroturfed though, plenty of lovely songs go viral all the time. If anything I'd attribute it to the very first fringes of late 2000s/early 2010s americana and folk music starting to roll back around as nostalgia. Anyway Drive by Truckers did this song better 20 years ago and there are a ton of good country songs about working class angst and political alienation already out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeYGo33_wkY

DBT is good, here's one about murdering a banker who foreclosed on the farm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q-Ma6UlrtA and here's a good one from a relatively unknown bluegrass guy that ends with another banker being murdered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUC1JaZkMgo Rhesus Pieces fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Aug 20, 2023 |

I've seen chapo live twice, and the first time Matt had to cede his bit to another guest because he was too incoherent to read a script. Second time, he was fading by the second half but muddled it through. Don't think he's made it through a live show anywhere near coherent.

Halloween Jack posted:As a Virginian, I have no loving clue what he means by the title "Rich Men North of Richmond." Rich yuppie scum from NoVa are a known thing, but they're all north of, like, Fredericksburg. And the richest counties that aren't clustered around DC are all near Hampton. it ambiguously implies politicians in DC as well as rootless cosmopolitan new york financiers
