To provide some context for those living under a rock, Oliver Anthony recently made headlines for his widely debated song, “Rich Men North of Richmond”. The song became a flashpoint in the cultural wars, with the singer’s unexpected transition from off-the-grid farmer to a chart-topping superstar still baffling to many. His shift from singing about blue-collar struggles and governmental criticisms to now sharing the stage with Kid Rock and Jason Aldean feels a bit like a fish taking to the skies.
Kid Rock, the self-proclaimed “American Badass” who once bravely fought against the unauthorized sale of circus peanuts (okay, not really, but it sounds on-brand for him), shared his excitement about the tour. “Man, this is gonna be bigger than when I found out Waffle House had a secret menu,” he declared, as he brandished a tattoo of an American flag merged with a guitar.
Meanwhile, Jason Aldean, a country star known for his love of big green tractors and occasionally singing about them, seemed equally ecstatic. “I think the tour is going to be a massive hit. Plus, with Oliver in the mix, I’m hoping we might get some discounts on fresh farm produce,” he joked, proving once again that humor isn’t his primary skill.
