Description

“I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day. Overtime hours for bullsh– pay.” Those are the opening lyrics of “Rich Men North of Richmond,” the unexpected, current No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. How did Oliver Anthony, a virtual nobody on the music scene, rise atop this acclaimed list and create what many are calling the national anthem of blue-collar Americans? And taking it a step further, what does this song’s popularity reveal about our current cultural moment? Why are these lyrics resonating with (and angering) so many? In this special episode (releasing on Truth Over Tribe’s second birthday!), Keith and Patrick team up to discuss the song and the overall response it has received from media pundits and government officials on both sides, journalists, and the general American populace. Plus, how should Christians respond to this narrative that’s affected the souls of so many in our nation? Listen now!
