Country star John Rich wants fans 'Raising McCain'

Country music star John Rich wants like-minded voters to join him in "Raising McCain."

The other half of the Nashville duo Big and Rich, the singer-songwriter has penned lyrics for a rock-infused anthem focused on the 5 1/2 years Republican presidential candidate John McCain spent as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and his refusal of an early release.

"He stayed strong, stayed extra long til they let all the other boys out. Now we've got a real man with an American plan, we're going to put him in the big White House," the song says. Its refrain: "We're all just raising McCain."

Rich planned to debut "Raising McCain" on Friday at the Country First concert in Panama City, Fla., with McCain on hand.

I thought Big & Rich's Eighth Of November was a particularly powerful tune...

If she needs help moving them around so she can see better, I’d be glad to provide it.
I’m on Music Row at least once a week to play music. I don’t talk politics there, but have heard it said that this group called “Music Row Democrats” can’t seem to get many people interested.

i'd ask if she came with them, but you are obviously a female and it would be in bad taste.

so did she?
