No One Speaks for Johnny Cash
Roseanne Cash, the daughter of Johnny Cash, is not happy that country singer John Rich actually told a concert crowd that her dad would have backed John McCain for president. While performing at a recent McCain rally, Rich said “Somebody’s got to walk the line in the country. They’ve got to walk it unapologetically. And I’m sure Johnny Cash would have been a John McCain supporter if he was still around.” Roseanne responded in an angry statement saying “It is appalling to me that people still want to invoke my father’s name, five years after his death, to ascribe beliefs, ideals, values and loyalties to him that cannot possibly be determined, and to try to further their own agendas by doing so. … This is especially dangerous in the case of political affiliation.” Do not be misled just because you’re a Johnny Cash fan.
