Tom MacDonald is not any stranger to the highest of the Billboard charts. Lee Greenwood’s music has made the heartland swoon for many years.
Collectively, they crashed the Billboard music charts days after Donald Trump’s beautiful electoral victory.
MacDonald, teaming with videographer and companion Nova Rockefeller, snagged the highest spot with “Goodbye Joe.”
The track, which has 5.7 million YouTube views in 11 days, is MacDonald’s most politically-outspoken track up to now.
America is goin’ woke, the streets are full of fireside and smoke
This ain’t the way in which I assumed it will be
The White Home filled with evil of us, People ain’t free no extra
They don’t respect of us such as you and me (oh-oh-oh)
The way in which we’re handled ain’t been truthful, faux information on each TV
4 years we’ve been on this nightmare whereas they killed American goals
We are able to’t afford our lives right here, lease, meals and gasoline
These colours don’t run, and I’m solely warnin’ as soon as, buddy, don’t tread on me
The “Joe” in query is most actually President Joe Biden, who give up the White Home race over the summer time following his disastrous June 27 debate efficiency. His successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, failed in her bid to cease Trump’s second time period.
Greenwood’s newest, that includes Drew Jacobs, is an hard-edged replace on his 1984 traditional “God Bless the usA.” The track has deep roots within the conservative motion.
The track, which has been used for navy retirement ceremonies, naturalization ceremonies, USO and navy deployment occasions, fireworks shows and extra, was written in 1983 behind a tour bus by Lee Greenwood. In 1984, the track was launched and didn’t initially high the charts nor win any awards. Nonetheless, that very same yr, it was adopted by then-Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan for use for his Presidential marketing campaign and the remaining is historical past!
Jacobs, like MacDonald, has taken an indie method to his profession. His viral hits have solid his fame, serving to him join with the 82-year-old Greenwood to revive the latter’s signature track.
