Rich Men North of Richmond

My most recent blown mind performances:

Sturgill -- Cuttin Grass 1&2
Zach Bryan -- American Heartbreak
Goose -- any live show
Grimes

Widespread... we seem close to the same age, you might be a little older. Lock the doors at Fraternity Park when they came through. Saw them six months ago and still a lot of fun.

I've seen them several times, all great shows. My brother followed them on tour years ago. I have a few of their songs in my campfire arsenal.

Your brother is my hero.

 

[clarksvol00]

He's one that I actually listen to some. His early stuff was really good.

Had to look it up. Real band backing him.

"Good kid, m.A.A.d. city" is a great album

[BigOrangeTrain]

Did you really start throwing around the term "small d energy" and tell someone to grow up in the same post?

Sure did

 

[clarksvol00]

Sure did

Of course you did

 

[PEPPERJAX]

By all means, ignore the subsequent conversation on that very issue and why race is not mentioned but is insinuated into ot by MAGA

The hilarity is your assumption of the meaning behind the lyrics without knowing anything about the artist. So all overweight welfare recipients are black? Ha! Take a little sightseeing tour to South Knoxille or better yet, preserve the miles on your Prius and go to the Gainesville Walmart. Your obsession with all things race is truly sad.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Staples is blah. I like Kendrick (early stuff). Gang Starr was late 90s, and Aesop is early 2000s -- both pretty dang good.

Gangstarr released a record a few years back and Aes is still releasing records.

Anything from the Rhymesayers label is solid.

 

[Majors]

The poetic aspect of music is absolutely open to interpretation. I do note that the MAGA resentment crowd does seem to interpretation it exactly the way I expected them to. Fat black people on welfare are costing them money and driving up their taxes while Dem politicians are at child sex parties.

Damn! Only black people can be fat living off welfare? Say the racist part out loud, you get a pass for your vote. I see all races abusing the system. But you’re correct on the sex parties as it does seem the biggest connection to the island was Dems.

 

[lawgator1]

You're really reaching. There's absolutely nothing racial there. There are plenty of morbidly obese people of all races, except maybe Asians, in the US, especially the South. And there are plenty of whites on the dole.

Its not about what it says, literally, but what people see in it.

The MAGA crowd are built entirely on resentment. Resenting those that do not look like them, resenting the well educated, resenting their lot in life being eroded by changing demographics. Its all about blame.

If there is any resentment it just may be coming from the fact that people like you all the way up into the MSM keep insulting them. Uneducated, racist, prejudiced, so on and so on.

You are the racist and sadly you don’t even realize it.

Somehow they believe they are the good guys.

all these years and you still have no clue

Well, people who continue to support and listen to a mentally ill, pathologically corrupt and deceitful man who should be in prison deserve to be insulted. FACT.

That's a strong description of Biden you got there.

You’re right Hunter shouldn’t be trusted. No reason for the President to seek his advice if he truly is the “smartest person” he knows.

 

[hog88]

I was wondering who he was referring to.

 

[lawgator1]

I believe we have exhausted this issue and nothing more to say.

 

[luthervol]

That's a strong description of Biden you got there.

Nobody worships Biden. Nobody is dumb enough to wear a Biden hat or fly a Biden flag. No one is so empty within their own life that they would wait for hours to mindlessly cheer him at a stupid pep-rally.

No, now that I think about it you may be on to something. Let's talk about resentment, what are some of the things that could be causes of resentment? Could trying to impose northeast, California or big city ideals/way of life on the fly over states and rural areas build resentment? Could regulating/taxing employers to the point they take the jobs out of the country be a source of resentment? Could northeast and west coast people moving into the fly over states/rural areas and trying to change them to what they are used to be a source of resentment?

I think you have touched on something that needs discussion.

So what's the problem with the song?

 

[EasternVol]

You know he's going to have a problem with it, simply because the conservative side likes it. Even though every review I've read, from both sides of people, and races, like the lyrics. Anything conservatives are for, huffy is against

He and a few others on here.
