Except Bruce Springsteen is a talented songwriter. This guy is just regurgitating talking points. There's no characters, no narrative. It's boring.

You must be looking for a novel, not a song.
Millions disagree with you. Millions.

I’m a guitar player and singer/songwriter in my spare time. Excellent song, great hook, and very relatable.:

Yes. I posted this link earlier in the thread.
It is relatable. And, that's exactly why it has gone viral.

And the meltdown as a result is epic.

I think this song captures the sentiment of people who feel left behind by society. They’re also the same people who love authoritarians who validate their feelings.

They HAVE to prove to themselves that they are superior to this man. He’s a threat to everything they think they are. And *OMG* he mentioned GOD which PROVES he’s just a stupid country boy.

The arrogance of people on this forum is astounding. The evil even more so

Literally not a single person in this thread said any of those things. You've fabricated yet another set of imagined grievances while completely ignoring what the debate is actually about.

Pretty sure the Biblical references in this thread about caring for the poor were actually rejected by his fanboys, so I’m not sure that his reference to God is a particular problem…

You all are hateful cowards.

For pointing out the Biblical imperative to feed the hungry rather than making songs mocking them?

This is a really weird take. You guys care about majority rule now? Millions more people voted for Hillary than Trump— millions. He was still the present. Millions more voted for Biden— the January 6 thugs still arrived. Now it’s supposed to be meaningful that millions of people like a song about how people with every opportunity are such victims?

You are an idiot.
Nice attempt at whataboutism.

You think he had "every opportunity?" You know his grandfather is from Appalachia? He doesn't come from "privilege."

I kind of read that type of superiority into the poster who described the singer as a Walmart white.

Tbh, I think the left is fueling a rise in popularity of right wing/Americana themed entertainment. While this song was lightly promoted by right wing figures, I heard of it from the left wing (this thread). And that is remarkable because I listen to Matt Walsh a few times a week and read things like libs of tiktok. The left is basically footing the marketing bill for this guy, The Sound of Freedom, and Jason Aldean's not-that-catchy Small Town. I am not complaining about this, I think it's awesome.

Yes he has had every opportunity. He had a fully funded public education to 12th grade. He lives in a state with an excellent community college system. He has had the time and opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument so he obviously wasn’t working to keep food on the table for his family. His problems, by his own admission, are of his own making. This isn’t a victim.

Yes and no. The current public school education system is designed to create factory workers, not leaders. How many of our politicians are community college graduates?

He's also from the poorest town in Virginia. https://www.thecentersquare.com/virginia/article_5617dba6-dcb0-11ea-b2ed-1f8ad0db8583.html

I agree he isn't a victim, but then, very few people are. By most definitions, though, he's had much more of an uphill climb than most other people.
