Oliver Anthony (Christopher Lunsford)

crazy dude he could pick any instrument up like there's videos on youtube of him but he would just sit there and just pick anything up and just rip it to death but he would always just be real silly about it he never had he never took it to never took himself too seriously you know some people go to the fun place some people go to the dark place yeah there's a you know country can do both you you you more often go to the dark place to to the to the pain but

Yeah, well, especially some of the new songs that are coming out.

They'll be probably not... I mean, I don't know what they'll be.

I don't know.

What is country anymore anyway?

Like, I think there's quite a lot of people who don't... who have sort of disowned that space, you know?

In commercialized country, you only really get what sells, which in a lot of what sells isn't...

necessarily what matters.

Yeah.

Well, I think professionalism and like applying the tactics of corporate America to anything that is baseline artistic is not going to end well.

Well, they're there to fill a role contractually.

And I think if they bring too many of their human elements into that, then they jeopardize losing their sense of security.

And it's all just out of fear.

It's out of fear of losing your job.

I mean-

It's the reason why all the songs say Oliver Anthony and not Christopher Lunsford on them.

You know, like it's fear of it's so difficult to especially now, it seems.

I mean, who knows?

I didn't I was never around in the 40s or 50s to work a job.
