Nimrod is a biblical name, he was a mighty hunter. We only associate it with "dumbass" because Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd "Nimrod" in an early cartoon.

Imagine insulting this good hardworking UNION ACTIVIST Ent

Fr tho ganpappy spent his whole life in the holler god bless im

No one outside of a worker's union has the right to blast a union worker for being a wage cuck

Just a reminder that Nimrod was actually the name of a mighty hunter and considered one of the first kings after the floods in the bible. It wasn't until Bugs used it sarcastically as an insult that it began to be used as a term for fool, or dumbass.

Chilling. Imagine being a miner and having death as a reasonable danger at work. Going down into the mine every day, being afraid of being crushed, suffocating, drowning, exploding and seeking music as a form of relief, especially this song. IT really shows the importance or unions.

very interesting performance. he has a coldness to his tone that got to me.

highly recommend listening. twice, even.

I like the one from Oh Brother Where Art Thou

here he sings "Black Lung Blues" and is interviewed by the BBC in 1984

here he is doing the crab walk:

Hmm thought that was a white walker mid scroll

Nimrod was a fantastic hunter, and only because Elmer Fudd was a bad hunter did the name become synonymous with stupidity.

Imagine being a bad ass of repute in your time only for a random ass cartoon in the future to turn your name into a punchline.

If I was named Dumbass Wagecuck I'd form a union too!
