Singer-songwriter Oliver Anthony became an overnight country-folk superstar earlier this month when his independently released single, "Rich Men North of Richmond," skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In response, the songwriter demurred, disassociating himself from the political pugilism. “That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden; it’s a lot bigger than Joe Biden,” Anthony remarked. “That song was written about the people on that stage and a lot more, not just them.” The power of the best protest songs lies not in their being paeans to specific political movements. Instead, their resonance stems from their incisive critiques of broader issues that underpin the political system. These aren't merely the headline-grabbing issues that dominate political debates or election seasons.
