“When John Rich recently took a Florida stage to support the presidential campaign of John McCain, he said, ‘Somebody’s got to walk the line in the country. They’ve got to walk it unapologetically,’ before singing Johnny’s song, Walk the Line. ‘And I’m sure Johnny Cash would have been a John McCain supporter if he was still around,’ John said. Not necessarily: Johnny supported Democrat Jimmy Carter. Now, Johnny’s daughter, singer/songwriter/author Rosanne Cash, has made her thoughts known on the matter with a statement posted on her Website. ‘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.’” (08/19/08)
