A Musical Interlude from The Other McCain? Not Quite

But a post on a musical topic. On ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’

After 10 days of reading endless commentary about Oliver Anthony’s viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond,” I finally decided to watch the YouTube video and see for myself: Red-bearded young man with a muscular voice picking a Gretsch dobro and singing the blues about “what the world’s gotten to,” and how it feels to be “livin’ in the new world with an old soul.”

And like all too many people, McCain doesn't understand The Blues. Which is fine. And I do agree with some of his sentiment.

Fuck the entire Ivy League and everything it symbolizes.

Anyway, click thru for more.
