I'm with this guy:

 

[A Son of Liberty]

He's a populist. Of course he doesn't understand economics.

It's fine, though. He can charge whatever he wants, as long as the promoters with whom he signed a contract agrees to it. And they won't...

As said as it is, Mr. Lunsford, it's not the 1800's anymore. And it won't be until we tear all of this nonsense down.

LOL - No shit...

If he were a true "man of the people" he'd reduce his $120,000 an hour gig fee to whatever level would support $40 tickets.

For $15 I saw these guys.

Utterly unpretentious farm hands, just like they say they are.

Was one of the best nights of music in my life, even though at that ticket price, each man in the band probably cleared $100 for the evening.

He's a fake grifter.

He's a fake grifter.

So, he's not a grifter, but he plays one on TV? Another interesting theory...

It's more than that..

If you have 5,000+ people who are more than willing to pay $100 to see you and you play a venue with 800 seats and you charge $40 a seat... what happens? People come in and swoop up as many tickets as they can for $40, it sells out in 10 minutes and then they scalp em.. for $100, maybe $200 or $300... you as the musician make almost nothing, and the scalpers make serious BANK. Most of your true fans still pay the "price".

Instead of being all uppity and preachy, this guy should be listening to his fans. Afterall, he is a #Artist and therefore isn't going to understand a lot of things outside of that domain. I don't mean all artists don't understand that stuff, although ones who do take to understanding these types of things I would usually call a creator and an artist. I'm talking about the #Artist, the artists (including writers like Stephen King and many journalist writers, actors, etc.) who come out on social media and don't know jack shit about any facts or logic and just make emotional arguments that they heard one time while pretending they are really smart.

If you want to be wealthy avoid a negative mindset like Anthony Oliver.

Unfortunately this kind of economic self sabotage is common:

- Complains about poverty

- Doesn’t understand money

- Demands $120,000 for a 30 min performance

- Cancels the performance he agreed to do because he thinks ticket price is too high (it’s at basically breakeven)

Cycle repeats

This is most common with creative folks who are economically illiterate - I’ve seen it many times. It’s especially striking in a case like this when someone is given a once in a lifetime opportunity.

People who have a negative attitude about money and wealth have a harder time earning any.
State of mind is important. An attitude of lack creates poverty. To build wealth know that money is abundant in the world and wealth can be created from nothing.

This guy was wholly unprepared for his moment of fame. He has obviously been in need of serious advise and management since day one.

My first bit of unsolicited advise: shut yer g*ddamn mouth. No off the cuff internet videos or posts. No off the cuff interviews.

Are people really still talking about this manufactured fake? His "rise to fame" has been the most manufactured astroturf "grassroots organic" thing I've ever seen. Come on people. He even paid homage to the Jews (the fake ones posing as Jews today, not the biblical Israelites) wondering the desert for 40 years and I'd bet any amount of money he's a Freemason.

What's the goal?

It seems like if he was manufactured, they would have done a better job training him on conservative talking points.

Give it time. Election season is just starting and his cult of personality is just starting to be built. My guess is he's the new "Joe The Plumber" type, but much more engineered into the role than Joe was.

Ep. 2396 The Oliver Anthony Problem
https://odysee.com/@TomWoodsTV:e/ep.-2396-the-oliver-anthony-problem:b
{TomWoodsTV | 22 September 2023}

The singer who goes by the name Oliver Anthony took America by storm with his unexpected hit "Rich Men North of Richmond." He correctly identified the villains in America -- not rich people as a class, but a specific group of unjustly rich people. At the same time, the powers that be are not shaking in their boots that someone singing "Ain't Got a Dollar" is popular among the masses; that's exactly the mentality they want the masses to have. John Bush joins us to talk this all through, as well as to discuss his personal story of going from borderline desperation to success.

Remember when he said he turned down a contract for millions because he didn't want to sell out and take orders? I remember.

BINGO.

And now you know what kind of Judas Goat he is.

Get what? That he finally got management?

Remember when he said he turned down a contract for millions because he didn't want to sell out and take orders? I remember.

So what? He got advise from people and decided to make some money and book real gigs.
