Anthony Oliver Has Nine Songs on iTunes Top Twenty

I featured the song that drove him to fame on Saturday. The Last Refuge: *AHEM*, Anthony Oliver Holds Stunning Nine Spots Amid iTunes Top Twenty, Including #1 and 4 of Top 5 - The Last Refuge

This, and the fact that Jason Aldean's song "Try That in a Small Town" is near the top must really chap some people's hides.

A few months ago, he was playing to crowds of 20 people. He performed in Virginia to a larger crowd.

Here is how The Last Refuge views the phenomenon:

We are the workforce.

We are also digital warriors, meme creators, artists, researchers, autists and ordinarily invisible people now considered dissidents in our own country.

We are the backbone of industry, the people who keep it all working, the builders, diggers and blue-collar workforce that keeps everything functioning.

We are the people they will never fully control. We speak in languages they do not understand, and we absorb targeted ridicule as fuel.

We are the movers of goods, the truckers, the farmers, the nameless people behind the skilled trades that keep what they call American society moving.

Here is a link to that Saturday musical interlude, and the song that started it all for Anthony Oliver.
