has spoken — or rather written — at length for the first time since his song “Rich Men North of Richmond” became a nearly overnight national phenomenon, going into his circumstances and background and saying he has no intention of rushing into any record deal.

Anthony, who confirmed in the post that his legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford , struck a humble pose in assessing his own skills as a singer and musician, even as he alluded further to angry feelings about the state of America that have led the song to be embraced virtually wholesale by conservative politicians and commentators.

To which the response might have been: get in line — just to get a direct contact for the out-of-nowhere upstart singer, let alone to make a deal. A few music industry figures already have a head start on Gucci Mane, like the politically provocative singer John Rich, who said he had lengthy conversations with Anthony and offered to produce and finance an album.

In Thursday’s much more explanatory post, Anthony described himself as a high school dropout who has lived and worked in North Carolina and Virginia, working in industrial manufacturing for the last nine years and “getting to know tens of thousands of other blue collar workers on job sites and in factories. Ive spent all day, everyday, for the last 10 years hearing the same story. People are SO damn tired of being neglected, divided and manipulated.
