Country music star John Rich's recent John McCain promotional anthem "Raisin' McCain" has fueled the cause for supporters of the Republican presidential hopeful, but it has also engendered a statement from a member of the California Raisins, the popular late-'80s singing group.
“John McCain is not, nor ever has been a member of the California Raisins. He ain’t even from California,” stated the tasty, sun-wrinkled vocalist. “Also, as far as I know, the man was never a grape, so no way could he be a raisin.” The San Joaquin Valley, Calif., native expressed shock at the song. “Why some hillbilly would be singin’ about McCain like he was one of us is beyond me. How about Granny Smith McCain? Or maybe Chiquita Banana McCain? I’m just sayin’ it’s not right.”
