The dude’s identify is Oliver Anthony, and he is a man-of-the-land residing in Farmville, Virginia — nevertheless, he is additionally a musician … and a tune he simply launched, ‘Rich Men North of Richmond,’ is catching hearth amongst conservatives everywhere in the nation … in only a 24-hour window, too.
