What Happened to "Raisin' McCain"?

Now he's made the Foo Fighters mad.

Add them to a list of artists including Heart, John Mellencamp, Jackson Browne, and Van Halen that have criticized John McCain for using their songs during his campaign without permission (and they all say that if they had been asked, the answer would be no anyway).

What I don't understand is why John's not using the song that Nashville's own John Rich wrote specifically to be his campaign song......you mean, the Foo's "My Hero" is better than "Raisin' McCain"? Poor John Rich.....no one in Nashville likes your music, and neither does John McCain.

On a related note, Rich did perform the snubbed song on CBS's the Early Show from Nashville yesterday, and a rabid Obama supporter jumped on stage and danced alongside him with her Obama sign. Hehe. Gotta love live TV....apparently they managed to edit most of it out with camera angles, but my coworker was there and said it was hysterical.
