Matt Walsh did a good job here summing up the phenomenon that Oliver Anthony created with his song. What Walsh says is that the real story isn’t whether the singer or the song are remarkably good. The real story is that people are starved for authentic values in the things they see and hear for entertainment. They’re starved for things in their lives that reflect the values that our culture shuns. They also want entertainers who speak to their lives and their experiences. Walsh is a talented communicator.
The entertainment industry hates normal people. People who read their Bibles, have traditional values, and care about things like hard work and honesty. Their response to Oliver Anthony's song shows us this.

I think it time for an old school revival to help wake/shake our country up.
Mac, things are so fouled up that if we don’t get back to living the right way we’re doomed.
