Nancy Wilson, of Heart, stirred controversy when she remarked it is "more embarrassing than ever" to be an American, recalling feelings during the Vietnam War. Her comments, made in a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel interview, have garnered both support and backlash on social media, with critics targeting her status as a wealthy musician. Additionally, she discussed the relevance of Heart's "Barracuda" in today's context, highlighting issues of exploitation in the entertainment industry. The reaction from fans has been mixed, with many expressing disappointment over her remarks.
"We were kind of embarrassed at that time to call ourselves American because of the dirty politics of the Vietnam War. To be as subtle as possible, it's more embarrassing now."
"The bitch is welcome to find a more suitable country for her needs. I'm willing to wager on the makeup of the country should she be a woman of her convictions."
"It's embarrassing to be a Heart fan now," added another former backer of the band.
"I think for people my age things are kind of scary and uncertain. Women's rights are being challenged at such a rapid pace."
