Rosanne Cash Issues Statement on Use of Johnny Cash's Name Mon. August 18.2008 11:09 AM EDT On Aug. 1, 2008, country artist John Rich, was quoted at a rally for John McCain as saying, "I'm sure Johnny Cash would have been a John McCain supporter if he was still around." The quote ran on CMT.com. Since then, Johnny Cash's daughter Rosanne Cash sent CMT.com the following statement: "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."
