If you haven\u2019t heard Oliver Anthony\u2019s new American anthem, \u201cRich Men North of Virginia,\u201d you probably live under a rock. After pundits on the right caught a whiff of how great the song could be with some exposure, it blew up to number one on the charts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe offers just started coming in,\u201d said Anthony\u2019s manager, Joe Barron, \u201cIt looks like Oliver has a really successful career ahead of him.\u201d Barron says the only offer the rising star has turned down was from Garth Brooks.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrooks asked him to play the grand opening of his new bar in Nashville,\u201d he laughed, \u201cOliver got on the phone personally and told him \u2018sorry, I\u2019m not a Garth fan.\u2019 Even though something like that might pay well, it\u2019s not worth the stain on his reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Brooks was boycotted three months ago for his views on conservatives and Bud Light. It doesn\u2019t look like that will be changing anytime soon.<\/p>\n

ALLOD Correspondent Tara Newhole caught up to Oliver at his home just south of Richmond to ask how he was coping with all the exposure. \u201cI\u2019m dead center politically,\u201d he told Newhole, \u201cbut that doesn\u2019t mean I won\u2019t let John Rich produce an album for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s music, which includes lyrics about poor people weighing too much and being fed fudge rounds from the US treasury, certainly shows just how down the middle he seems to be.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your honesty, Oliver. God Bless America.<\/p>\n
