Political Anthem for John McCain

While Barack Obama has the support of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., Bright Eyes and many other musicians (see the video clips at my blog and find artists and videos exclusively at - http://lafp60smusicproject.com/), John McCain has his own country singer.

John Rich, the American country music artist, is proud to be well-known as one of McCain’s supporting artists who played at the Republican National Convention.
Rich, 34, released his campaign song “Raisin’ McCain” on his website (http://www.johnrich.com/) to support the Republican presidential candidate – he performed it at the closing ceremony of the Republican Convention on September 3, 2008 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Rich plans to continue his musical support for John McCain during the elections in November:

“I respect McCain for his heroism over the years. He stands for the things I value and there aren’t many young conservatives like me who make it into the media, so I’m trying to do my part.”

“Raisin’ McCain” is focusing on the five and a half years McCain spent in a POW (Prisoner of War) camp in Hanoi, North Vietnam:


“Well he got shot down in a Vietnam town
Fighting for the red, white and blue
And they locked him up in the Hanoi Hilton
Thinking they could break him in two”
