"That super graphic ultra modern girl storming the stage with Chappell Roan? It was none other than Nancy Wilson. The Heart co-founder and her Grimace-purple guitar were surprise guests at Roan's September 21 show at Forest Hills Stadium, where the duo performed what's become a tour staple for the pop star this year: "Barracuda," a blistering song about industry slimeballs that Wilson wrote with her sister, Ann, in the late '70s. The experience left Wilson optimistic for what lies ahead."
"When did you first become familiar with Chappell and aware that she was a big admirer of Heart?She came to Heart's Los Angeles show a couple months ago with some of her friends, like Lucy Dacus and those really cool girls from MUNA. It's great to see the next wave of women coming out to see us. It was a cool handing-off-a-generation feeling that connected everybody together both times."
"Yes. I'm a songwriter and love good pop music - any good music when it's well written. I believe she's one of the great pop songwriters. The song structure of "Pink Pony Club" is perfect, just to get technical about it. Going to her show at Forest Hills, I saw a much bigger picture of what she's doing with the youth culture."
Nancy Wilson joined Chappell Roan onstage at Forest Hills Stadium on September 21 to perform "Barracuda." "Barracuda" was written by Wilson and her sister Ann in the late 1970s and is described as Heart's ballsiest song embodying "the power of a couple marine-corps brats." Wilson called the experience hopeful and expressed positive appreciation for cultural directions. Wilson attended Roan's Los Angeles show recently with friends including Lucy Dacus and members of MUNA. Wilson praised Roan as a great pop songwriter and called the song structure of "Pink Pony Club" perfect. Wilson noted the aspirational atmosphere, throngs of young women, inclusivity, positivity, and a brewing artistic renaissance.
