Unlikely hit-maker Oliver Anthony owes much of his appeal to an ability to speak to Americans who are overworked and underpaid.
The author, a self-described “late-blooming country fan” must never have heard the classic joke about country music: “What do you get when you play country music backwards? You get your house back, your car back, your wife back…”
“It’s aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I’m one of them,” Anthony told. “I see the right, trying to characterize me as one of their own. And I see the left trying to discredit me.” Quite the opposite: In a case of reverse whistle-blowing, Anthony truth-talked about actual American life to a rarefied crowd who have no idea what it’s like to try and survive on an average American salary.
