CMT.com recently posted a quote by John Rich from a rally for John McCain..."I'm sure Johnny Cash would have been a John McCain supporter if he was still around." Seriously? Who is John Rich to decide THAT?! Well, the statement didn't sit very well with Johnny Cash's daughter either...she released this statement to CMT.com..."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. I knew my father pretty well, at least better than some of those who entitle themselves to his legacy and his supposed ideals, and even I would not presume to say publicly what I 'know' he thought or felt. This is especially dangerous in the case of political affiliation. It is unfair and presumptuous to use him to bolster any platform. I would ask that my father not be co-opted in this election for either side since he is clearly not here to defend or state his own allegiance."

All I have to say is "SNAP". Do not invoke thy name of the Man in Black. Rock on Roseanne...and surprisinly, my comment will of course, reference hair...yes, I got my hair cut like her many many moons ago. I did not look anywhere as cool.
